We're proud to say that the Chalet Cristal offers an authentic chalet experience with great choice and quality in St Anton. The property is a traditional chalet with a modern interior and its own sauna and relaxation area. Chalet Cristal has seven bedrooms and is perfect for large groups or families.

Chalet catering

The chalet staff provide a continental buffet breakfast everyday and an excellent hot breakfast six mornings per week. A three course set evening menu is served six days per week including unlimited wine and a prosecco apéritif before dinner.

Once you return from the slopes, you can enjoy afternoon tea, coffee, and cake provided by the chalet staff.

Chalet Sauna

After a day exploring the slopes of the Arlberg Ski Area, relax in the chalet's own sauna and relaxation area. 

Location

Just five minutes’ walk to the slopes and ski lifts and then two more minutes' to the lovely pedestrian centre of St Anton.

The Cristal is situated on a slope down to the lifts and uphill back so we have arranged with our ski and board hire partner that all pre-booked skis and boots can be left at the shop just next to the lifts. This leaves you free to return to the chalet or stop at one of St Anton’s renowned après ski venues in the centre of the resort.

Why is this an Inghams' Choice property?

Chalet catering - Our catered chalets mean there is no need to worry about a shopping trip whilst on holiday, as you will be looked after by us from arrival to departure.

Service - Our Inghams chalet hosts are a wealth of knowledge and can help you find the best runs, weather conditions, and best bars in town during your stay.

Quality design - This catered ski chalet in St Anton has been finished to a high standard. Most rooms have a balcony so you can enjoy the mountain views, or relax in front of the fireplace in the lounge.

Our chalets are going greener, so our mountains don't

This season, our menu is changing for the better. In all of our chalets we're giving you more choice, with both meat-free and meat options on offer throughout your stay. This is driven as part of our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint.
