FOR FOODIES

Burg Vital Resort

I had one of the best dinners of my life at the five-star Burg Vital Resort prepared by award-winning Chef Thorsten Probost. Fine dining doesn’t begin to describe the combination of locally sourced products and herbs.  Culinary masterpiece gets closer.

Spa-ing

Loved the Sole Flotation Tank! The high salt content let me float all my worries away. Definitely book one of the Indian Ayurveda treatments at the Burg Vital Spa.

Experience

Der Weisse Ring, or the White Ring, is a ski circuit that should be on your bucket list. Skiing through stunning scenery over 22 kilometers of piste and 5,439 meters of altitude, I was awed.

St. Anton Arlberg Austria

St. Anton 

Located directly on the train route from Tirol to Vorarlberg, St. Anton am Arlberg is just over an hour west of Innsbruck. One of the world’s oldest and best-known ski resorts, St. Anton lies at the foot of a vast mountain range with some of the best skiing terrain you’ll find anywhere in the Alps. So grab your skis, head straight to the cable car, and get your lift pass. The Arlberg Ski Pass grants you access to a total of 88 mountain railways and lifts, 190 miles (305 km) of groomed slopes and 125 miles (200km) of deep powder and granular snow slopes, stretching throughout the entire Arlberg region.

Julia’s Must Do’s #St. Anton

The Acme of Après

The Acme of Après: Nobody does it better than St. Anton. The MooserWirt and the Krazy Kanguruh are famous (or infamous). Be prepared to stand on tables dancing with your ski boots on. Antics, drinks, and music make for an après to remember.

Epicurean Delight

The Museum Restaurant is seriously good.

History meets modern mountain food. I cannot stop thinking about the Zwiebelrostbraten, (beef with onion sauce, creamy potato purée, bacon, and beans). Decadently delish. Find it and the St. Anton Ski and Local Heritage Museum in the Historic Arlberg Kandahar House.

Overnight in St. Anton

Location. Location. Location! Ski-in/ski-out and with the pedestrian zone on the doorstep. Ski Hotel Galzig’s ultra-modern rooms are hip with perfect perks.

Experts Only

St. Anton is one of the few places in the world to offer a winter via ferrata. Grab some touring gear and get roped in for a rock climbing adventure across craggy peaks. Untracked runs are your just reward. Exhilarating.
