St. Anton Ski Map: Pistes, Lifts and Sectors

By Best:in Editorial Team · Updated September 2026

As of September 2026, the St. Anton ski map is the Ski Arlberg piste map: one panorama sheet covering 305 km of marked slopes, 88 lifts and 200 km of open terrain between 1,269 m and 2,811 m. It splits into Galzig/Valluga, Gampen/Kapall, Rendl, St. Christoph, Stuben and the Lech Zuers side reached by the Flexenbahn. Print, PDF and live app versions all use the same layout.

Where do I get the official St. Anton ski map?

There is no separate St. Anton map. The village sits inside Ski Arlberg, so the official sheet is the Ski Arlberg panorama map, published by the area and handed out at lift offices such as the Hauptkassa Galzig in St. Anton. The same artwork appears as a PDF download and as an interactive map on skiarlberg.at, which layers live lift status, slope status and mountain restaurants on top of it.

The area the map covers is large: 305 km of marked slopes, 88 lifts and cable cars, and roughly 200 km of open, unmarked terrain. The digital twin is the Ski Arlberg app from intermaps, which adds positioning, A-to-B route search and offline storage, so the map still opens when the phone loses signal on the Valluga side.

How is the St. Anton ski map laid out?

Read the sheet as an east-west range cut by three passes: Arlberg, Flexen and Hochtannberg. St. Anton sits at the eastern end, at the low point of the area's 1,269 m to 2,811 m altitude band. North of the village the map shows the Galzig and Valluga sector, topping out at 2,811 m, with the Gampen and Kapall lifts drawn directly above the village rooftops.

South of the valley floor, on the opposite page edge, sits Rendl, a separate sector reached by its own gondola. West along the pass the map continues through St. Christoph and Stuben, then crosses to Zuers and Lech via the Flexenbahn, which opened in the 2016/17 season and created the current 305 km, 88 lift total. Warth-Schroecken occupies the far north-west corner.

How do I plan a Run of Fame day from the map?

  1. Trace the circuit before you buy the ticket

    The Run of Fame is the signposted tour that uses most of the map in one day. It runs 85 km with about 18,000 vertical metres, from St. Anton and Rendl through Stuben, Zuers, Lech and Schroecken to Warth, then back. It is skiable in both directions and is linked entirely by lifts and pistes, with no bus legs required. Follow the route on the sheet first so you know which passes you cross.

  2. Check the season window

    For winter 2025/26 the published operating window was 3 December 2025 to 19 April 2026 for Lech, Zuers, St. Anton, St. Christoph and Stuben, while Warth-Schroecken and Kloesterle-Sonnenkopf ran 5 December 2025 to 12 April 2026. That gap matters: the far end of the circuit closes about a week earlier than the St. Anton end. Ski Arlberg published 2026/27 prices as provisional in August 2026, so confirm dates before booking.

  3. Use the live map for lift status

    The interactive map on skiarlberg.at reports which of the 88 lifts are turning, plus webcams and slope status. On a long circuit a single closed connection at the Flexen or Hochtannberg pass can strand you at the wrong end of the area. Check the chain of lifts you need, not just the ones above your hotel.

  4. Load the app for navigation on the hill

    The Ski Arlberg app puts your position on the same piste map and offers a route search between two points. It stores data locally for offline use and tracks distance and altitude, including a dedicated Run of Fame challenge. Carry the paper sheet as a backup: cold drains phone batteries fast at 2,811 m.

What do the numbers on the map actually mean for a ski day?

305 km of marked slopes is the total for the whole connected area, not for St. Anton alone, and the 200 km of open terrain shown as unmarked ground is off-piste, not groomed piste. Lines that drop from Valluga and Schindlergrat belong to that second figure. They are freeride terrain and carry avalanche risk.

Altitude is the other planning number. The area runs from 1,269 m at the lowest bases to 2,811 m at the top, a vertical spread of roughly 1,542 m, which is why late-season snow on the valley runs into St. Anton can differ sharply from cover on Valluga. History is on the map too: the Galzigbahn first ran in 1937, and Ski Club Arlberg was founded in 1901.

Is the app enough, or do I still need the paper sheet?

Both have a job. The Ski Arlberg app shows live lift and slope status, prices, weather, webcams and your position, and stores its data for offline use. That is information a printed sheet cannot give you. It is also the version that tracks the 85 km Run of Fame.

The printed panorama still wins for group planning over lunch and as a battery-free fallback. One practical point at the ticket window: passes are issued on a Ski Arlberg chip card that carries a EUR 5 deposit, refunded when you return the card, so factor that into the cash you bring on day one.

What do first-timers misread on the St. Anton map?

Three errors recur. First, treating Lech and Zuers as a quick hop: they are on the far side of the Flexen pass, connected by lift only since the Flexenbahn opened for 2016/17, and a return trip eats most of a day. Second, assuming the whole area shuts on the same date. In 2025/26 the Warth-Schroecken end closed 12 April 2026, a week before the 19 April 2026 finish in St. Anton.

Third, reading dotted high-alpine lines as pistes. Those routes sit inside the 200 km of open terrain, they are neither groomed nor patrolled in the same way as the marked 305 km, and the Valluga descents in particular are handled as guided freeride terrain.

Which options rank highest?

1.

Ski Arlberg Piste Map

The official panorama sheet is the reference layout every other version copies. One page covers 305 km of marked slopes, 88 lifts and the 200 km of open terrain, from the 1,269 m bases to the 2,811 m Valluga. It is free at lift offices such as Hauptkassa Galzig and downloadable as a PDF. No live data, but it needs no battery and works for group planning at a hut table.

Best for: Offline planning

2.

Ski Arlberg App

Built by intermaps, the app puts your position on the same piste map and adds a route search between two points across the 88 lift network. It reports open lifts and slopes, ticket prices, weather and webcams, stores data locally for offline use, and tracks challenges including the 85 km Run of Fame. Battery life in cold air is the only real weakness.

Best for: Live navigation on the hill

3.

Arlberger Bergbahnen

The operator of the St. Anton, St. Christoph and Stuben lifts publishes its own lift and slope pages, ticket tariffs and opening information, including the EUR 5 chip card deposit. Useful when you need operator-level detail for one side of the map rather than the whole area. Its history runs back to the Galzigbahn of 1937. Coverage stops at the Tyrolean sectors.

Best for: St. Anton side lift detail
