Winter sports holiday in the village Sankt Christoph
Sankt Christoph am Arlberg is a small and atmospheric mountain village on the Arlberg Pass, located at around 1,800 metres in the heart of the Austrian Alps.

Its combination of peace, history and impressive alpine scenery makes it an attractive destination for guests looking for relaxation and charm.
With its small-scale setting, Sankt Christoph feels intimate and exclusive. Compared to nearby resorts such as St. Anton and Lech, it is noticeably quieter here, making the village especially appealing to those who want to enjoy a relaxed stay in the mountains. At the same time, lively St. Anton is just a short distance away, so you can easily combine tranquillity with a more vibrant atmosphere.

One of its best-known landmarks is the Arlberg Hospiz, an iconic place with a long tradition of hospitality. It is also a wonderful destination for guests who appreciate good food and fine wine.
Choosing a stay in Sankt Christoph means choosing a charming destination in the heart of the mountains. The snow-covered peaks, peaceful location and distinctive alpine character create a winter stay with something extra.
