Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around December 5, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement.

When does St. Anton am Arlberg close?

St. Anton am Arlberg is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 19, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2811 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/st-anton-am-arlberg.

How much snow is there in St. Anton am Arlberg and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The St. Anton am Arlberg daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/austria/st-anton-am-arlberg. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2811 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in St. Anton am Arlberg?

Between 1304 and 2811 metres, a vertical drop of 1507 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1304 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the St. Anton am Arlberg report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/austria/st-anton-am-arlberg.
