Summer Vacations in St. Anton am Arlberg
Mountains. Movement. Time to breathe.
St. Anton is famous for big mountains and unforgettable ski days. In summer, the Arlberg shows a completely different side.
Fresh mountain air in the morning. Peaceful valleys. Mountain lakes, hiking trails and huts. Time outdoors, time together and sometimes simply time for yourself.
Start the day with a generous breakfast and then decide what you feel like doing: hike, take a mountain lift higher into the Alps, e-bike through Verwall, practise yoga, go swimming or simply take an easy walk around St. Anton.
There is no list you have to complete.
Summer in St. Anton can simply be summer.
Set in peaceful Nasserein, Arlen Lodge is your personal base for days in the mountains. We know and love this region ourselves and are always happy to share our recommendations for hikes, tours, mountain huts and favourite places.
And when you come back?
Put your feet up. Have a cup of tea. Perhaps enjoy the sauna or cold plunge. Eat well. Sleep well.
Then start all over again the next morning.
Your St. Anton Summer Card Premium is already included with your stay at Arlen Lodge, making it even easier to discover St. Anton at your own pace.
Three Days in the Mountains
Day 1 – Arrive. Slow down.
Check in, leave your luggage and simply arrive.
Perhaps start with an easy walk through St. Anton or towards Verwall. No big programme. No summit you still need to reach.
Back at Arlen Lodge, there is time for tea, a little rest or, on request, a visit to our Arlen Spa.
In the evening, you will find plenty of excellent places to eat nearby in St. Anton.
You don't need to do anything else today. You've arrived.
Day 2 – Breakfast. Mountains. Hiking. A hut.
Start the morning with our power breakfast.
Then head into the mountains. The mountain lifts make it easy to reach higher-altitude hiking trails and viewpoints.
Which hike should you choose?
Just ask us over breakfast.
Depending on the weather, your fitness and what you feel like doing, we are happy to recommend a route that suits your day.
Perhaps an easy hike with lunch at a mountain hut. Perhaps a summit. Or maybe just a beautiful viewpoint where you end up sitting considerably longer than planned.
Back at the Lodge: shower, put your feet up, have some tea, enjoy the spa and head out for a relaxed dinner.
A pretty good day in the mountains.
Day 3 – Discover the Arlberg differently.
Perhaps start with yoga.
Or take an e-bike into Verwall.
Go swimming. Play golf. Take an easy walk. Ride another mountain lift.
Or find a peaceful place and don't plan anything at all.
For us, that is summer in St. Anton:
Movement when you want it. Quiet when you need it. Mountains all around you.
Staying a little longer?
Excellent.
We also have ideas for Days 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Just ask us over breakfast!

Experience St. Anton from a completely different perspective.
On a tandem flight with TandemSky, you can soar above the mountain landscape together with an experienced pilot. Valleys, forests and mountains below you. The Arlberg all around.
Peaceful and exhilarating at the same time – and certainly a day you will remember.
If you are looking for a serious sporting challenge, the Arlberg has plenty to offer.
The Arlberg via ferrata is one of the region's demanding alpine routes, extending for around three kilometres through high-alpine terrain and reaching approximately 2,500 metres in altitude.
It is an undertaking for experienced and properly equipped mountain athletes, where weather, fitness and alpine experience must always be taken into account.
For those looking for something less high-alpine, there are also other climbing possibilities around St. Anton.
What do mountain biking, yoga and hiking have in common?
For us, quite a lot.
Movement. Focus. Being outside. Finding your own rhythm.
