About Chalet Fauner A

Sleeps 16 | 8 bedrooms

Close to the action but far enough away for a peaceful night's sleep, Chalet Fauner A enjoys a quiet location just a five-minute walk from the Galzig lift, the slopes and St Anton's legendary après-ski scene at Basecamp. It’s the ideal balance for skiers who want to make the most of the resort without sacrificing a little downtime.

Back at the chalet, soothe tired legs in the sauna and relaxation area before settling in for an evening of freshly prepared food and good company. With en-suite bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area and friendly Chalet Hosts taking care of the details, all you need to focus on is where you'll ski tomorrow.

For added convenience, guests who pre-book skis or a snowboard and boots with Inghams can store their equipment free of charge at the ski shop next to the lifts. Travelling with family or friends? Chalet Fauner A can also be booked for sole use, giving your group a chalet experience all to yourselves.
