*************

Sankt Anton am Arlberg is a village in Tyrol, western Austria, with a population of c. 2,800. It is a prominent ski resort situated at 1,304 m above sea level in the Tyrolean Alps with dozens of Aerial tramways, chairlifts up to 2,811 m. It is well known around the world as the host of the Alpine World Ski Championships in 2001, and as one of the world's most famous international winter sports and a summer resort.

Skiing has a long history in this village: even before World War I, the first skiing teachers were employed at St. Anton. It is located in the Stanzertal and belongs to the district of Landeck. Many ski instructors from this area emigrated to North America in the 1930s, helping to popularize Alpine skiing on that continent.

A town of 2,500 permanent inhabitants, St. Anton offers the best expert skiing in the Arlberg region, and the most lively apres-ski scene. St. Anton lies on the Rosanna River, and is on the main east-west rail line between Austria and Switzerland. It is part of the Arlberg alliance of ski resorts—a region that includes more 82 cable cars and ski lifts, 260 km (160 miles) of groomed pistes and 184 km (114 miles) of deep-snow runs.

A pedestrian zone forms the center of the town. On the western edge of village is the "Galzigbahn" which has been replaced by a Funitel gondola. The new gondola also includes the first ever Ferris wheel which enables passengers to board the gondolas on ground level. The Funitel accesses the Galzig slopes and connects to Schindler and Valluga peaks. On the eastern edge of town, the Nassereinbahn rises to the Nasserien area with links to Kapall peak. Kapall, Valluga, and Schindler peaks provide skiers with close to 1,500 vertical metres skiing. Slope-side apres-ski bars, such as Krazy Kanguruh and Mooserwirt, can be found on the Steissbachtal trail just above St. Anton. A more subdued apres-ski scene exists in the numerous pubs and cafes in town. There are many examples of traditional local properties such as The Old House.
