St. Anton 
Austria
St Anton, in the Arlberg region of Austria, is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. Known for its lively après-ski, it also offers some of the most challenging intermediate and advanced ski runs in the Alps.
The resort is one of the oldest and most historically important ski resorts not only in Austria, but also in the world. One of the first cable cars in the Alps was installed on Galzig Mountain; and pioneering ski instructor and sponsor of the Kandahar Trophy ski races, Hannes Schneider, founded Skischule Arlberg (the Arlberg Ski School) in 1921, introducing the concept of group ski lessons that were later adopted by schools ski resorts around the world. St Anton can be considered the birthplace of modern alpine skiing.
