Apartment Iss | 3-Bedroom Chalet – St Anton

Six guests. Three ensuite bedrooms. One Alpine village that transforms into Europe’s most coveted ski destination each winter. Apartment Iss sits at the heart of St. Anton am Arlberg, where 306 kilometres of interconnected slopes meet a village that buzzes with the energy of international skiers, mountain enthusiasts, and those seeking genuine Alpine hospitality.

Inside Apartment Iss

Apartment Iss sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, each bedroom featuring a king-size bed with its own ensuite facilities. The ground-floor location within Chalet Fabiola offers direct access to the village without the feeling of isolation—you’re moments from lifts, restaurants, and après-ski venues, yet the accommodation itself creates a tranquil retreat from the activity outside.

The living quarters blend mid-century Austrian design with contemporary comfort. A spacious lounge features plush seating warmed by an electric fireplace that casts gentle light across the room during evening hours. The entertainment setup includes a flat-screen television with Netflix access, though many guests find themselves drawn outdoors or to the dining table instead. A soundtrack system allows curated music to drift through the open-plan spaces—ideal for setting the mood during group dinners or quiet afternoons.

The kitchen commands attention immediately upon entering. Fully equipped with professional-grade appliances including a dedicated oven, microwave, and dual dishwashers, the space accommodates both self-catering guests and those employing the available private chef service. A Nespresso machine with pods sits ready for morning ritual, while a juice extractor, blender, and full complement of small appliances suggest the owners anticipated every culinary need. The substantial kitchen island serves as both preparation surface and informal gathering point, with bar seating positioned to encourage conversation during meal preparation. A long rectangular dining table surrounded by stylish chairs and built-in bench seating anchors the dining area, capable of hosting all six guests comfortably with room for group conversations.

Three ensuite bathrooms ensure guests never queue for showers. Each bathroom is appointed with luxury toiletries, hairdryers, plush bathrobes, and slippers. Central heating and underfloor heating systems maintain warmth throughout cold months, while the electric fireplace in the main lounge provides ambient heat and atmosphere.

Practical details reveal thoughtful planning: two baby cots and a travel cot address family needs, while an ironing board and iron ensure garments stay pristine. Wi-Fi connectivity throughout supports both business needs and entertainment streaming. Entry codes and an automatic gate system provide security while the interphone system allows communication with concierge staff.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Two spacious patios extend the living space into the Alpine air. In winter months, snow transforms these terraces into private viewing platforms overlooking St. Anton’s rooftop landscape and mountain peaks beyond. Summer brings crisp mornings ideal for coffee on the terrace before heading to mountain bike trails or village exploration. Underground parking for two cars sits beneath the building, with elevator access eliminating the need to navigate stairs with luggage.

Communal wellness facilities within the Chalet Fabiola complex elevate the experience beyond typical apartment rentals. An on-site sauna provides post-skiing recovery—a ritual many guests adopt from day one. A dedicated massage room and table offer professional treatments, while a sports room equipped with treadmill and indoor bike supports those maintaining fitness routines during their stay. A communal relaxation area provides additional social space, and a dedicated ski cellar with boots heater ensures equipment remains in optimal condition throughout your visit.

Eighty-eight ski lifts—gondolas, cable cars, chairlifts, and rope tows—provide rapid access to terrain ranging from gentle blue runs ideal for intermediate skiers to demanding black slopes challenging experts. The legendary Der Weisse Ring circuit covers 22 kilometres of continuous skiing, while the Run of Fame represents an 85-kilometre expedition linking St. Anton, Lech Zürs, and Warth-Schröcken, typically completed over two days by accomplished skiers.

The included breakfast service and optional private chef support families managing different dietary preferences, while children’s amenities—cots, high chair, outdoor spaces with mountain views—address family logistics practically.

Professional groups or corporate retreats benefit from reliable Wi-Fi, the professional kitchen supporting catering, and the informal atmosphere that encourages creativity and conversation. The village location permits team-building activities ranging from morning ski lessons to evening wine tastings without the insularity of mountaintop lodges.

Skiers across ability levels find appropriate terrain within the 306-kilometre system.
