# Summer ## Arlberg Summer Activities With the free St. Anton Mobility Card for each guest. ### June to October Although St. Anton is best known as a winter playground, a whole new world opens up with the mountain wildflowers. The options for adventures are endless here in the Arlberg Area. Time to lace up your hiking boots! Ready to reach higher grounds? The Arlberg Via Ferrata takes you high above the valley floor, across suspended bridges and along granite walls. [Everything about our Apartments in Summer →](https://www.omaela.com/en/summer-holiday-st-anton-am-arlberg/) #### Hiking, mountaineering & summit joy on the Arlberg Our **hikers and mountaineers** set off here on the **Arlberg** as early as May/June: the temperatures in our rugged landscape are still crisp, especially in the morning and evening — which makes the **sunrises and sunsets** on the trails & summits all the more refreshing. And the peaks still covered in snow in May are climbed for the first time at the latest when the [summer season in St. Anton am Arlberg](https://www.omaela.com/en/arlberg-stories/10-summer-highlights-st-anton-arlberg/) begins — that is, in mid-June. From then on, the [free St. Anton Mobility Card](https://www.omaela.com/en/arlberg/summercard/) is valid from your very first night. Many summits such as **Patteriol** or the **Hohe Riffler** already count among the classics of the Alps. Others are **insider tips** for breathtaking panoramas and untouched nature in our Arlberg region. Also very popular on a **hiking holiday on the Arlberg** is the "Höhenweg" (high trail), which can be tackled in various stages. A demanding and beautiful variant is the high trail from **Kapall out to the Ansbacher Hütte** in lovely Schnann am Arlberg. The descent from the Ansbacher Hütte down into the valley is once again very strenuous — but here at the Omaela we have made an internal rule: all of our house guests who take on this high trail are picked up by us in Schnann and brought back to their [Omaela apartment in St. Anton am Arlberg](https://www.omaela.com/en/apartments/). Just as a little incentive ;) #### Bike, e-bike and more: discovering the Arlberg on two wheels The Arlberg is sporty — very sporty. You won't find much flat terrain here. That is also one of many reasons why the **e-bike** became so popular so quickly here on the **Arlberg**: with electric support, our often very demanding but wonderful bike tours can be mastered with ease. Whether a short tour up to the Gampen or Kapall, an evening spin up to the **Putzenalpe**, or a demanding full-day tour from our [Omaela apartments in St. Anton am Arlberg](https://www.appartements-stanton.com/) through the beautiful [Verwall](https://www.omaela.com/en/arlberg-stories/verwalltal-summer-winter/), over the Heilbronner Hütte to Galtür, through the Paznaun valley towards Pians and from there back through the Stanzertal to **St. Anton am Arlberg:** the Arlberg offers perfect routes for every level. #### The perfect mix on the Arlberg Thanks to the many **summits, alpine pastures and huts**, another trend is gaining more and more followers: **bike & hike** is becoming ever more popular on the **Arlberg**. You take the first stage by **bike or e-bike** and then continue on foot to a summit. A very big challenge here is, for example, the Hohe Riffler or the Patteriol: with the bike or e-bike you can ride to the foot of the mountain in each case, and from there you carry on up to the demanding summit. A somewhat easier tour leads from the [Omaela holiday apartment for a summer holiday in St. Anton am Arlberg](https://www.ferienwohnungen-arlberg.com) by bike or e-bike over the Rendlalm to the Alpenrosenweg. There, at the high point, you park your bike and continue on foot to the **Zwölferkopf**. From there you enjoy a wonderful panorama — a very hot tip, by the way, for **sunrise on the Arlberg**. #### Numerous alpine pastures & huts around the Arlberg Mountaineers & hikers as well as bikers and e-bikers have countless places to refuel in and around St. Anton am Arlberg and in the Stanzertal: the [Dawin-Alpe](https://www.bergwelten.com/t/w/19752) in Strengen am Arlberg, the [Ganatsch-Alm in Schnann am Arlberg](https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/de/sommer/bergregion/huettenverzeichnis/-addresses/alpe-ganatsch) as well as the [Fritzhütte](https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/de/sommer/bergregion/huettenverzeichnis/-addresses/fritzhuette) and [Ansbacher Hütte](https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/de/sommer/bergregion/huettenverzeichnis/-addresses/ansbacher-huette) for mountaineers, the [Malfon-Alm](https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/de/sommer/bergregion/huettenverzeichnis/-addresses/malfon-alm) in the valley of the same name in Pettneu am Arlberg, or the [Nessleralm](https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/de/sommer/bergregion/huettenverzeichnis/-addresses/nessler-alm) and the Almfrieden on the opposite, northern side of the valley.
