Apartment Himmel | 4-Bedroom Chalet in St. Anton am Arlberg Saint Anto

Eight guests, four bedrooms, one address that transforms how you experience alpine winter and summer: Apartment Himmel sits in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria’s most celebrated ski town, where 304 kilometres of connected slopes and year-round mountain culture define every season. This is not a generic rental—this is a four-bathroom sanctuary where professional housekeeping, daily breakfast service in winter, and a dedicated concierge mean your only decision is which activity to pursue next.

Inside Apartment Himmel

Apartment Himmel sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, spread across a carefully designed duplex layout that feels like a private home, not a typical apartment block. Each of the four double bedrooms comes with its own ensuite bathroom—no queuing, no compromises. Two bedrooms feature deep soaking bathtubs ideal for post-ski muscle recovery, while the other two offer rainfall showers. A separate guest toilet provides additional convenience for larger groups.

The living quarters occupy an expansive attic space with cathedral ceilings and generous proportions. Here, a lounge with generous seating and a television anchors one zone, while a separate dining area accommodates the full group for shared meals. The fully equipped kitchen flows naturally from this space—think professional-grade appliances, substantial counter space, and the kind of layout that encourages both simple breakfasts and ambitious evening dinners. An Amazon Fire Stick streams entertainment, while complimentary Wi-Fi connects you to the world whenever you choose.

Supporting amenities include a washing machine for multi-week stays, luxury bathrobes and slippers in each bathroom, and an underground parking garage (included daily). The in-house sauna—accessible year-round—occupies its own dedicated space, the kind of quiet refuge where jet lag and travel fatigue evaporate within twenty minutes. A table tennis table provides evening entertainment for families or groups.

The welcome experience sets Apartment Himmel apart immediately. Arrival brings fresh flowers, a bottle of champagne, and a comprehensive welcome package including a Soda Stream, Nespresso capsules, loose-leaf tea, premium muesli blends, dried fruits, and nut selections. Winter guests receive daily breakfast deliveries—fresh bread and pastries from local bakeries, cured meats from regional producers, local cheeses, yoghurt, and seasonal fruits—that arrive ready to serve.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

While Apartment Himmel’s true outdoor theatre extends across the Arlberg’s 304 kilometres of terrain, the property itself offers direct access to St. Anton’s walkable mountain infrastructure. The apartment’s location provides immediate step-out convenience to cafés, restaurants, and the town’s vibrant atmosphere. Balcony or terrace spaces (where available) frame views of the surrounding peaks—a constant reminder of the landscape that draws 1.2 million visitors annually to this corner of Austria.

Location: St. Anton am Arlberg and the Surrounding Area

St. Anton am Arlberg occupies a historic position in global skiing. The town invented many modern ski techniques in the early 1900s and remains Austria’s most famous winter destination. Apartment Himmel’s location puts you within walking distance of the Galzigbahn and Kandaharelbahn lift stations—the primary gateways to Ski Arlberg’s 88 lifts and gondolas. The interconnected terrain spans St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, and Lech-Zürs, creating one of Europe’s largest continuous ski areas.

Winter activities extend far beyond on-piste skiing. The Arlberg region maintains 80 kilometres of marked winter walking paths, suitable for all fitness levels. Cross-country skiing routes stretch 43 kilometres through the valley. The natural toboggan run near Oberlech delivers exhilaration and Alpine scenery in equal measure. The Arlberg WellCom Centre in St. Anton’s town core houses an indoor pool complex, outdoor sports pool, whirlpool, sauna facilities, and a counter-current swimming system. Ice skating on the rink requires just a short walk from Apartment Himmel.

Summer reveals entirely different possibilities. The mountains transform into hiking and mountain biking territory. The Rendl region, accessible by lift from St. Anton’s base, provides 50 kilometres of marked mountain biking trails and hiking paths. The Verwallgruppe and Silvretta mountains—both within 15-30 kilometres—offer multi-day trekking routes. Fishing opportunities emerge in the region’s clear streams and small lakes. The 9-hole St. Anton Golf Club, set at 1,304 metres altitude with panoramic course design, sits approximately 3 kilometres from the town center. Tennis courts, rock climbing sites, and paragliding schools operate seasonally throughout the Arlberg.

The surrounding valleys reward exploration. Lech, 10 kilometres west, rivals St. Anton for elegance and maintains its own distinct character with upscale shopping and gastronomy. Zürs, a further 5 kilometres beyond Lech, caters to advanced skiers and offers extreme backcountry terrain. Stuben, 8 kilometres east toward the Arlberg Pass, provides a quieter alternative base. Innsbruck lies 100 kilometres south—Austria’s Olympic city with year-round attractions, museums, and cultural venues. Vorarlberg’s Rhine Valley towns lie 30-40 kilometres north, known for traditional craftsmanship and regional food culture.

Gastronomy in St. Anton ranges from mountain hut cuisine to Michelin-starred restaurants. The town supports dozens of established eateries within 500 metres of Apartment Himmel. Local specialities include Käsespätzle (cheese noodles), Vorarlberg cheese, and game dishes in winter. The weekly farmers’ market provides regional produce, local meats, and artisan goods.

The nearest major airport, Innsbruck Airport (INN), sits 100 kilometres south—approximately 90 minutes’ drive via the scenic B165 route over the Arlberg Pass, or 2 hours via the longer but winter-reliable B171 route through Vorarlberg. Munich Airport (MUC), 180 kilometres south in Germany, offers more flight options but requires 3-3.5 hours’ driving time. Private helicopter transfer from either airport can be arranged via the on-site concierge service.
