St Anton is an attractive town, and most of the action is located on or just off the main pedestrianised street. There are plenty of fancy hotels and money floating around, and recently there has been a surge in cool boutique style hotels; however it still manages to retain a good balance without becoming too poncey.

Après ski in St Anton is the thing of legend – as long as you like it Austrian style and starting halfway up the mountain. Descending on Run 1, just before it meets with Run 21, take a look at the Senn Hütte. Next stop is the Heustadl for some more traditional live music après ski. From here traverse left onto the Red 21 and head to the Krazy Kangaroo or the (slightly more chilled) Taps bar next door. Descend and get back onto the piste you’ll find the almighty Mooserwirt. Lock your board up or drop it in the cloakroom and squeeze yourself into the ensuing mayhem. Chances are it’ll be dark by the time you need to ride down that last bit of the piste – best of luck!

At the bottom of the Galzigbahn the Anton Bar is a nice respite from the après ski and has snowboard movies playing on the big screens. On and just off the main street you’ll find a good number of bars, starting with the Piccadilly which has a covers singer every evening until 8pm and then re-opens as a nightclub later. The Kandahar does good food and has a nightclub open until 4am, Bobos is the place for a taco and tequila, and Bar Cuba is popular hangout among seasonnaires. Scottys Bar is an old classic, and tend to run a few drink specials.
