Embark on an extraordinary adventure as we initiate our journey in Innsbruck, Austria, where the historic city awaits our arrival. On Saturday, February 28, we will depart from Innsbruck for a short train ride to St. Anton to commence our new ski adventure. As one of the top ski resorts in Europe, St. Anton is a familiar destination for many of us, renowned for its exceptional skiing opportunities and unique charm that surpasses other alpine ski villages we visit. The fabulous ski resort of St. Anton connects with the towns of St. Christoph, Lech, Zurs, Stuben, and the new area of Warth, forming one of the largest ski areas in Europe. For those who enjoy nightlife, St. Anton is often referred to as the St. Tropez of the Alps, and for good reason. Our group will comprise skiers of all skill levels, and St. Anton offers an abundance of terrain to cater to every level of skier. Notably, St. Anton is celebrated for its easy access to exceptional off-piste skiing, ideal for those seeking untracked powder. For advanced skiers interested in exploring unique off-piste areas, we will employ the services of a mountain guide for one or two days.
