Are you ready for the ski season?

The world-class pistes of St. Anton am Arlberg demand stamina, technique, and smart, structured preparation: training, recovery, and enjoyment in balance. Start getting ready now – and you’ll experience winter at your very best.

Preparations on the mountain are already in full swing; cable cars are being checked, everything is being fine-tuned. St. Anton am Arlberg is counting the days to opening, and it’s time for your own winter set-up – for everything that makes this place a legend: demanding descents, magnificent slopes, long, snow-filled days.

Performance through training

• Targeted strength: Thighs, glutes, and core carry you through every day on the mountain. Build them with squats, lunges, and planks – three sets, three times a week, around 15 minutes each – and add swimming or cycling to develop endurance (and savour the last of autumn).
• Precise equipment check: Freshly sharpened edges, accurately adjusted bindings, perfectly fitting boots – now is the ideal moment for a full service of your kit.
• Balance is everything: 10 minutes a day on a balance board noticeably improves stability on the piste. Coordination and equilibrium turn effort into flow.
• Mental focus: Concentration in tricky terrain starts in the mind. Visualise your favourite descent, breathe with intent, find your focus. That clarity will carry you through the day.
• Fuel for performance: Quality proteins for strength, complex carbohydrates for staying power, and plenty of fluids. Preparation begins on your plate – powerful, mindful.

The Arlberg ski season invites you to enjoy glorious days in the snow. If you want to glide with ease and stay injury-free, now is the moment to build your base. Put simply: train now, enjoy lightness later – on the slopes and in the moment.
