La Loupe St. Anton, St. Christoph & Stuben am Arlberg No. 4

St. Anton is Home of Quattro
The tourism association St. Anton am Arlberg
and the premium car maker from Ingolstadt,
AUDI, have had a successful partnership
since the year 2008. The athletic image and
premium quality of both brands meant they
were – and still are – a perfect match. Each
year AUDI provides the municipality and the
tourism association of St. Anton with free cars
and St. Anton gives AUDI space and presence
in the village and during events.
Stuben invests in the future
Seeing as the connection of the skiing areas
of the Arlberg via cable car is not far off,
many tourism businesses were encouraged to
invest big sums in the villages and in their
businesses’ infrastructure. The businesses of
Stuben are putting together 16 million Euros.
The capacity is increased by 80 beds. All new
is the “Fuxbau” with apartments and a new
restaurants; Sporthaus Strolz which used to be
situated in Hotel Post for years, has found a
new and much more roomy home. Hotel Post
on the other hand was completely renovated
and offers an all-new ski shop which is run by
Sport Brändle of Zürs. Stuben Tourism has
found a new home, too. Other big investments
were the construction of the Mondscheinchalets,
the complete renovation of the Haus
Burgi and the Dorfstube. Of course with all
these projects it was the quality, not the
quantity that counted. Together Stuben,
Lech, Zürs, St. Anton and St. Christoph
form the tourism brand “Arlberg”. The
tourism destination Stuben has 725 beds
and registered a total of 91,000 overnight
stays last year.
A “rain of awards” for local gastronomy
A total of six restaurants in St. Anton and
St. Christoph am Arlberg were awarded 90

“Never before could one eat that well in
St. Anton”, was the editors’ verdict in 2015,

Tyrol’s only winter-via ferrata
In the Rendl area, high up above St. Anton, runs
Tyrol’s only via ferrata that is open in winter.
Constantly secured with a steel rope ski touring
fans can enjoy the alpine ridge traverse and the
subsequent ski descent through the open landscape.
Always following the panoramic ridge
it runs along for an airy 850 m across Vordere
Rendlspitze (2,816 m) to Rossfallscharte
(2.732 m). Skis or snowboard and climbing
gear as well as ski touring shoes are a must!
