💡 Tips
- Famous après-ski spots like the Mooserwirt get incredibly crowded by 4 PM; arrive earlier if you actually want a table.
- In summer, check if your accommodation provides the St. Anton Summer Card for free cable car rides and activities.
- The village center is largely pedestrianized; use the large parking areas at the village entrance or leave your car at the hotel.
- Pace yourself on your first day; the altitude can make both skiing and hiking significantly more tiring than expected.
