We're all big fans of Austria here but it's not featuring in our Winter 2024/2025 programme. Don't worry though, we've got other amazing resorts and Mountain Collection hotels and chalets for you to choose from. Check out our resorts in France, Italy, and Andorra – we’ve got a feeling you’ll fall head over heels for these too!
St Anton is a ski resort that appeals to all types of groups and with over 300km of runs, legendary nightlife and plenty of first-rate chalets, it’s pretty easy to see why.
