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

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.

...

Other ski areas are Lech, Stuben and St. Christoph, a hamlet that became famous in the 14th century when the shepherd Heinrich Findelkind built a hospice as a shelter for traveler crossing the Arlberg pass to the Vorarlberg province. Alpe Rauz, near St. Christoph, has one of the finest cruising trails in the region, an 820 m vertical slope that takes one all the way from Ulmer Hutte to Stuben.
