Respect the Goat.
How to: St. Anton
A mindful traveller’s code | Quality Hosts Arlberg
St. Anton isn’t just a destination or a business.
It’s our home, a mountain community we care for all year round.
We see it change: the snowlines, the rivers, the forests. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
That’s why we ask everyone who comes here: guests, employees, partners, to help make a difference. Little by little, step by step. Just like climbing a mountain.
1. Respect the Locals
Here, the locals aren’t only the people, they’re the mountains, the streams, the animals & the village itself.
Treat them all as part of the same place you’ve come to enjoy.
2. Slow Down, Don’t Speed Up
You came here for the mountains, not the rush. Take your time, look around, breathe in that fresh mountain air, connect.
The best memories are made when you’re not in a hurry.
3. You’re Not Alone
Whether you’re here for a week or a whole season, remember: we share the trails, the slopes & the streets.
Be kind & considerate. Community starts with small gestures.
4. Leave No Trace
Carry out what you carry in.
Keep the mountains clean so that they’ll stay wild & beautiful for everyone.
5. Choose Local
Eat, stay & shop local. Supporting local businesses keeps St. Anton alive & gives you a more authentic time in this valley.
6. Be Mountain-Smart
The weather & the terrain here can change quickly.
Check forecasts, follow advice & stay on marked paths. Respecting nature also means staying safe.
7. Travel Lightly
Every small effort counts: a refillable bottle, less plastic, sharing rides, or turning off the faucet whilst brushing your theeth.
Sustainable choices start with simple habits.
8. Share the spirit, not the noise
Enjoy the après, the laughter, the life - just be considerate.
Sound carries far in the mountains.
9. Care for Each Other
Every hand can help, every voice can speak.
Every piece of plastic picked up in the wild is a small act of care.
In this mountain community, respect for each other & for nature shapes the change we seek.
10. Make It Last
“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories.”
But let’s go further: take awareness with you, share it & inspire others.
Every small step helps keep St. Anton the place we all love.
Together, we can keep this valley alive,
not just as a resort, but as a living home.
