Hiking, mountaineering & summit joy on the Arlberg: your summer holiday in St. Anton

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 begins — that is, in mid-June. From then on, the free St. Anton Summer Card 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. 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 through the beautiful Verwall, 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 a summer holiday 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 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.
