In St. Christoph you often step out of the door on your skis. These five hotels are on the piste or beside the St. Christophbahn, from simple to spa hotel.
The village is small and sits high on the Arlberg Pass. That is ideal by day; in the evening you mostly eat in your hotel, so half board is often a handy choice. For shopping and nightlife, head to St. Anton.
The Traxl family welcomes you at 1,793 metres in St. Christoph, with junior suites, Tyrolean dining rooms and a spa. The hotel's own Maiensee Burger Bar sits at the end of piste 64.

Getting to the lifts and pistes
The lift leaves from the front door: breakfast, skis on and away. The St. Christophbahn valley station stands beside the hotel.
Things to consider
St. Christoph is a very small village with few shops. For a night out, head down to St. Anton.
Travellers seeking a simpler, personal stay at 1,800 metres

Free ski depot at the lift
Sauna
Free garage
Getting to the lifts and pistes
The lifts are a few minutes' walk away. Guests get a free ski and boot depot right at the lift.
Things to consider
This is an inn with a sauna rather than a hotel with an extensive spa. Choose it for the location and value.

Getting to the lifts and pistes
Thanks to its position next to the ski lift, there is no detour: breakfast, out of the door and onto the piste.
Things to consider
The hotel works on a half-board basis. If you prefer to eat elsewhere each evening, St. Christoph has little choice.
A characterful sport hotel at 1,800 metres, right beside the piste and recognisable by its zebra stripes. The lobby doubles as restaurant, bar and lounge, with an open fire and a heated indoor pool with sauna.

Getting to the lifts and pistes
Ski-in/ski-out: the lift is outside the door, so you can be first on the mountain in the morning and last off it in the afternoon.
Things to consider
Not a classic luxury hotel: because the lobby is also the bar, evenings can be lively.
The training centre of the Austrian Ski Federation is also a hotel. Stay next to its own ski school, with a fitness room, bar and à la carte restaurant under one roof.

Getting to the lifts and pistes
There is direct piste access (ski-in/ski-out). Your ski locker has its own exit to the piste, and there is a professional ski service.
Things to consider
Ski instructors also train here, so expect a sporty, functional atmosphere. Check the check-in and check-out times when booking.
