Note: This event has already passed.

St. Anton, Austria is famous for its beauty, reliable snow, and over 440 km of descents. Located in the Austrian Tirol, it is one of the world’s best known resorts. Its serious terrain attracts the hard-core skiers and snowboarders, putting it up there alongside Chamonix and Jackson Hole It has hosted the Alpine Skiing World Championships on several occasions, most recently in 2001.

St Anton is one of our favorite resorts here at ODR. The resort boasts of 97 state-of-the-art cable cars and 350 km of groomed slopes to ride. In addition to the lengthy ski runs, St Anton also has snow parks, carving areas, and over 200 km of off-piste for the adventure seeker in you.

Our travel time is approximately 6 hours and we will be traveling in a large commercial bus. The bus plans to leave promptly on time so please arrive early enough beforehand. We are not planning a stop on the way up. The bus has a restroom onboard, but in the event that it's not operational we can make a stop as needed.

Rental equipment must be reserved in advance. You will be able to pick up your rental equipment the morning of the trip from Outdoor Recreation. We will pick up people from Del Din first, then stop at Ederle for everyone to load their equipment onto the bus.

The trip guide will provide guidance on the resort to the best of their knowledge and inform the group about ski and snowboard lesson opportunities. Lessons are dependent on the terrain at the resort and the availability of instructors, and lessons are only available to participants ages 12 years and older. When provided, lessons are taught by certified instructors and free!

A note on weather: In some instances Outdoor Recreation has adjusted locations due to severe weather or closures.
