Alps
St. ANTON, AUSTRIAN ALPS
SHRED THE SLOPES, COP COCOA IN COZY CHALETS, AND MASTER THE MOUNTAINS IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS
Trade in bustling cities and earthy Fall leaves for a Narnia-like winter wonderland in St. Anton. This sparkling snow-covered village tucked in the Austrian Alps boasts infamous ski runs, picturesque chalets, and soothing spas, making it one of Europe’s most magical hidden gems.
South Tyrol flourishes in the spring: incredible views, legendary nightlife, and perfect powder, all without the hordes of tourists that swarm other ski towns in peak season. Whether you’re an adrenaline junky, ski bunny, or just love wintery charm, there’s no better place to experience the Alps than the “cradle of alpine skiing.”
Sink yourself into a steaming hot tub surrounded by majestic mountains after shredding exhilarating slopes in the fresh air all day. Spend your evening in the cozy chalet playing board games by the fire, drinking hot cocoa, and socializing before going out with your new friends. Nowhere does pistes and parties like St. Anton.
Dates: Jan. 25- 27
Friday
BUTTERED RUM AND BOARDGAMES BY THE FIRE
Break out your coziest sweater if you’re arriving in time for our Thursday night fireplace board games party complete with hot cocktails. If you’re arriving on Friday, you’ll step into St. Anton’s winter wonderland with an ice skating party and charming pop-up Christmas-style markets serving delicious local food like schnitzel or kasespatzle, which is basically epic Austrian mac and cheese, and hot spiced gluhwein which just hits different after a day out in the crisp alpine air.
Saturday
SKI AND SCHANPPY HOUR
Spend Saturday skiing or snowboarding some of the Alp’s best slopes with your friends. If you’re not feeling adrenaline, get pampered at St. Anton’s most relaxing spa and sauna with your entry covered. After an exhilarating day on the snow or in the spa, get decked out for our infamous exclusive apres-ski party on the slopes with free “schnappy hour” shots and bops from your favorite DJs before partying all night in St. Anton’s most fire club.
Sunday
SUNRISE ON THE MOUNTAIN
Most will dip on Sunday, but if you can’t get enough of the mountains and get another day in the Alps you can shred all the runs you missed, explore the picturesque village, or have cocoa by the fire in the chateau. And take in that Alpine air, because the next stop on the schedule is the sometimes debauched city of Amsterdam.
