Sankt Christoph am Arlberg

Written with skiers & winter in mind:

The visual centre-piece of St Christoph is the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel, which for some decades enjoyed a reputation for glamourous luxury, hosting the wealthy and famous of the 1960s to early 2000s, but, at time of writing (2024), that has been closed for 3 years and shows no sign of re-opening soon, and so the centre of activity has now shifted closer to the slope-side Maiensee Hotel and The Hospiz Alm.

The main appeal of St Christoph lies in its proximity to other places, whilst remaining apart from them. Where St Anton is bustling, often busy to the point of being crowded & noisy, Christoph is quiet & peaceful. Stuben & Zug, undoubtedly prettier, are a good deal lower and too out-on-a-limb, especially in early & late seasons. Zurs, with better doorstep skiing, is further out yet and shelterless in bad weather, whilst Lech, which may these days enjoy higher society, too often won't sufficiently compensate the keen skier their entry-fee when the price, in late season, is enduring slushy runs.

The Christophbahn lift, directly abutting The Maiensee Hotel, is the key here; its central and higher-up spot than other villages, allows the skier to get a few valuable minutes ahead of the hordes from St Anton, and to enjoy broader immediate options too. The same principle works at day's end.

The star of Apres-ski here is the Hospiz Alm; on sunny days, its wide decks attract those looking to improve their tan and wash it down with, by repute, the largest collection of oversized Claret available in Europe's Alps. Inside and upstairs is much reassuring Tyrolean coziness, log-fires and wood-panelled kitsch; downstairs (by step or lazy-slide), the impressive vaults & cellars provide something to gawp at; many-litred bottles commanding prices well into 5 figures. Tip: keep a sober eye on the bill.

A few metres higher on the same slopes, Arlberg Thaja enjoys sun for a little longer and is newly & smartly refurbished.

Hotel Maiensee offers the plum spot for skiers, sitting pretty scarcely 10m from the Christophbahn lift; though without the accompanying annoyance of crowds that you'd see elsewhere. It has its own, quieter bar, and a quality restaurant served by a talented kitchen, but its lift-adjacent new burger bar is the magnet drawing attention from younger crowds. Recent investment in the rooms has seen it scoop-up many of the Hospiz's well-heeled customers.

Further down, Ski Austria Hotel, home of the Ski Austria Academy is a modern, angular eyesore, but it does have the virtue of a bright bar & restaurant, and the accommodation is more affordable than most, and again provides a much needed space for the younger generations of skiers.

Older visitors will remember the yellow block that was the Inghams Sports Hotel, now under different ownership, rebranded Hit-The-Sky and given a more appealingly alpine-striped make-over, which carries on in the funky interior bar. Uniquely in Christoph, it enjoys a sizeable pool and the one-size-for-all accommodation is generally priced at the sensible end of the spectrum.

Mention must be made too of the Gasthof Valluga, a few steps closer up the pass than the others. Like Hotel Maiensee, it's still a family-run affair, and likewise, of trad. and cosy-looking aspect, it also has an excellent kitchen. Alpenhotel and Hotel Arlberghohe also offer visitor options.

The only problem St Christoph encounters is when high-winds force its sole outbound lift to close. The practice slopes aren't enough to keep you engaged for much more than 1/2 a day. However, the solution for those rare instances is a 10 or 20 minute bus ride to either St Anton or Zurs respectively, which, with 3 or more lifts each, are your saviour. I first came here in 2015 as the starting point for what was intended to be a season's tour of every Austrian resort. In the end, it turned out to be so well placed that I didn't bother leaving.

Only one lift up, but a great place to start your ski day.

Alber Sport - Check in Nasserein

Booking our gear and getting fit at the shop was super easy. The team was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Fernance was amazing and made sure we had the right equipment for our skill sets and needs. The gear was in good condition and the shop is conveniently located right under the gondola.

I want to HIGHLY recommend on Alber Sport Nasserein, The staff was kind, patient and professional , the gear was in great shape. I paid for the premium package and did get great variety of selection.

I want to give BIG UP for Chris who advised me and gave me such a personal attention.

I came back several times and changed boots  and board until I found the right ones and every time they made me feel relaxed about it!

I'v been renting snowboard gear for several years now, and for no
doubt that was my best experience! Thank you guys 

Great location right below the Nassereinbahn, and great service as well. Staff is very friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. They were able to give some great advice in regards to what type of ski best matched the conditions on the slope. 10/10 would recommend.

The manager of this place (so called big boss) should be fired in my opinion. Such an unpleasant man - tall, mid age with dark hair.  I complained to one of the other members of staff and the answer was: he is the big boss. Please shop owners - educate your staff how to behave with customers . I wonder what this man has done or is doing to deserve his position. I can also see other comments from customers referring to his unpleasant behaviour.

Good place with enough ski equipment, but with only two desks open they couldn't handle the big group in the morning. It took ages to get the the ski equipment.

Tip: ask for a name sticker on your skies otherwise you have a big change that someone else takes your skies during lunch or the apres ski. And they ask a very big fee if you turn in other skies that are not yours (even if they own that other set of skies).
