5 movie-worthy summer days at Mt Arlberg

There are some holidays that are just like a cosy TV series. Others feature gripping dialogue, compelling storytelling, and plenty of action. Summer at Arpuria in St. Anton am Arlberg clearly falls into the second category.

If your summer holiday at Arpuria were a movie, what would you be in the mood for? We’ve given the question some thought and have some movie-inspired tips for you. 

“Fast & Furious” – a day of biking 
The challenging trails play the starring role here. The Arlberg terrain is an incomparable playground for mountain bikers: technical, flowing, with views that are almost too good to believe as you ride past. The best routes await you around Arpuria, we provide secure bike storage, and know exactly what ambitious cyclists really need. Packed with action right up to the very last bend.

“Eat Pray Love” – a day of indulgence 
From Thursday to Saturday, ELEMENTS Fine Dining at Arpuria transforms fire, earth, water, and air into taste experiences. Rooted. Raw. Refined. A culinary journey awaits you that begins with a glass of exquisite wine from our collection and ends with one of those moments that people are still talking about weeks later. Food that’s good enough to fall in love with. 

“Into the Wild” – a day of hiking
The 300-kilometre network of trails around St. Anton offers impressive variety. Each route has its own character, its own highlights, and cliffhangers (in the truest sense of the word). Anyone who goes hiking in the Arlberg region will understand why so many people write about hiking: because sometimes it’s just too beautiful not to. 

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” – a day in the spa
The Aria Spa at Arpuria is your go-to spot for relaxation and putting your feet up. There’s a panoramic sauna, hay sauna, infrared salt cave, aromatic steam bath, and massages to knead the stress of everyday life away. All put together for you with a precision that would have delighted Wes Anderson.

“The Bucket List” – a day at the summit
Some things you simply have to experience for yourself. A summit logbook entry on Mt Arlberg in July is one of them. The view from above is one thing; the feeling of having earned this encounter is quite another. Back at Arpuria, the pool awaits, perfectly heated, both indoors and outdoors. 

Credits. Exit. All that remains is the question: which day is your favourite?
