Had a look at it, Alistair, but I was in St Anton last year.
It is for two people only. In March the plan is that my buddy and his frau will be over from New Zealand, so there will be 4 of us.
We want ski for 3 weeks,and do a lot of skiing, and St Anton is a bit restricting.

Wrong answer Ian hahaha :lol:

Its a fantastic place to ski. You can also find some good well priced chalets, so it doesnt have to cost any more than anywhere else to be honest. I'd go back there any time.

What do you mean by that Dave?

Think again Ian :D

Tony, I was thinking the same I thought St Anton was a nice challenge with lots of demanding runs. I have looked at staying in Stuben but it so small that the beds there are very expensive. We will do it within the next two years for sure. :)

It is true that St Anton has some good interesting runs. It is also true that for much of the season, the main leader runs are hoaching, and it would be foolhardy and dangerous to be blasting through throngs.
Hence, I found St Anton to be restrictive for my type of skiing. On the other hand, Stuben and Rendle were very enjoyable, as was Lech. In Stuben, I had a couple of runs with a group of the Austrian team coaches.
My comments are not meant to put anyone else off St Anton, I always enjoy my skiing, wherever it is. Incidentally, Dave Watts forms the same view.

Fair point Dave, Stuben looks like a realy nice and traditional Austrian village/Hamlet. :mrgreen:

I struggle to understand how someone who lives in Niederau thinks St Anton is restrictive

I've spent a week in St Anton. I mostly skied elsewhere in the system, either Lech/Zurs or Rendle. Why? Crowded slopes, aggression in the queues, and a long hike to the lift each morning made it easier to take the car to another centre. St Anton's slopes were pretty bare and rock strewn for a January, costly repairs!
