Here is the thing about St. Anton - it is legendary for a reason. This is where serious skiers come to play, where the apres-ski scene is borderline famous, and where the Austrian Alps deliver that pinch me feeling every morning.
But let us be real: this is NOT a beginner mountain. If your kids are pizza-wedging their way down greens, save St. Anton for later. If they can confidently handle blues and want to feel like they are in a real alpine adventure? Book it.
The value angle: Your lift ticket here costs 72 EUR/day vs $239 at Park City. Even with flights, you might come out ahead - and the experience is completely different.
