In summer the Arlberg Austrian resort of St Anton turns
into nothing less than a hotspot for walkers, hikers,
tennis, squash and yes, golf. The course is a six hole
layout in Nassereein complete with driving range and on
hand pro to tune up your game. This is not to mention
the setting for mountain biking, paragliding, horse
riding and more.
There is also a glorious plus in St. Anton, one that will be found in many Austrian, no make that many alpine destinations. That dear viewer is the opportunity to do, er, absolutely nothing but to enjoy the calm surroundings and the fresh air.
Swimming is also a popular exercise and pastime, and, if we are properly informed, there are now two pools in St. Anton, one being the first in the area in Pettnau, just outside of St. Anton. Sound appealing?
You can be sure that there will be at least a couple of first class hotels open, and you can be equally confident that the prices will be well below what the same hotel would cost you in winter. And don’t forget, you are in St Anton, high in the Austrian Tirol
Regardless of the season this is still a class destination and
