Bike & active sports

Once you've cycled through our mountains on a bike or e-bike, the feeling stays with you. Some 350 kilometres of waymarked routes wind through the St Anton holiday region, promising cycling pleasure from dawn till dusk – for families just as much as for keen, ambitious riders. Our member establishments make the perfect base camp: you set off well rested in the morning and return in the evening to genuine hospitality.

A cycling holiday on the Arlberg means exploring unspoilt nature at your own pace – in comfort, with ease and with all your senses. The beautifully signposted routes lead you to hidden lakes, rustic alpine huts and viewpoints you won't forget in a hurry. Thanks to its dense network of chargin stations, St Anton has long established itself as a top destination for an e-bike holiday, and many of our cycling hotels offer high-quality e-bikes to hire on site. There's nothing standing between you and your outdoor adventure.

Discover our wide range of e-bike and mountain bike tours here.

The Arlberg is a place of longing for anyone who loves a contest with the contour lines. From our houses you can reach some of the most beautiful climbs in the region: the ascent over the Hahntennjoch is one of Tyrol's great hairpin dreams, the ride up to the Kaunertal Glacier ranks among the most demanding alpine passes of all with its endless switchbacks, and those who want to push on further can roll over the Arlberg Pass towards Vorarlberg and all the way down to Lake Constance. Every one of these routes repays the effort with breathtaking panoramas.

St Anton is a name to be reckoned with not only in winter – the region enjoys an international reputation among climbers too. The famous Arlberg via ferrata runs for around three kilometres and climbs to almost 2,500 metres, counting among the finest yet most demanding iron ways in the Alps. The airy ups and downs across the Knoppenjochspitze, Lisunspitze and Weißschrofenspitze call for stamina, a head for heights and the right equipment, but reward you with a panorama stretching from the Lechtal Alps to the Silvretta. The easiest way to reach the start is via the Galzig and Valluga cable cars.

If you'd rather take things a little more gently, the climbing garden in the Schnanner Klamm gorge is the place for you. Surrounded by rushing torrents and waterfalls, it offers numerous fully bolted routes of moderate difficulty – you don't need to bring your own protection, which makes it especially easy for beginners to get started. Families will find a one-of-a-kind experience high among the treetops at the high ropes course in the Verwalltal, and should the weather ever fail to play along, the arl.park climbing hall is the cosy meeting point for all climbing fans.

When the sun is high, the cool water beckons. In and around St Anton you can experience the element of water in all sorts of ways – sometimes gentle, sometimes wild. Rafting on the rivers of the Stanzertal has something for everyone, from a relaxed family outing to a sporty white-water run, while canyoning lets you follow the water's course through unspoilt gorges and over rushing cascades.

Our partner for all of this is H2O Adventure, for many years the seasoned specialist for outdoor adventures in the region. Safety, fun and genuine closeness to nature come first here. You'll find all the tours and dates on the H2O Adventure website.
