The history of skiing in St. Anton am Arlberg

the first ski school (1921) and the Arlberg-Kandahar Race (1928)

Tourism on the Arlberg dates back to the 19th century. But it was not until the advent of Alpine skiing, pioneered to a large extent by men from the Arlberg, that the region acquired the outstanding reputation it still enjoys today as a winter sports centre. Hannes Schneider was one of the foremost figures in the early days of skiing and starred in the films directed by Arnold Fanck which did a great deal to popularize the Arlberg. In the decades that followed a succession of great skiers made the Arlberg a household word for the best in skiing.

In summer, St. Anton am Arlberg is the perfect setting for a classic mountain holiday. Walking, climbing or mountain-biking, tennis, squash or golf, horse-riding, rafting or paragliding...there are many ways of enjoying an active leisure break in St. Anton’s healthy mountain air – in summer as well as in winter.
