Hiking
with the St. Anton Mobility and Summer Card Premium
Hiking is very important in the holiday region around St. Anton. So that you can explore the region with an expert guide, we offer a guided hike every day. You won't ‘just’ hike, but get to know nature with all its facets and secrets.
Whether wild spices, herbs or special flowers such as edelweiss and gentian, your hiking guide will point out the special features of the Arlberg. Depending on the season, there are also culinary delicacies that you can pick and taste on the spot. For example, wild berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, redcurrants, etc.).
With a bit of luck, you may even spot some of the very shy wild animals.
The dates for our hikes can be found in our experience shop. Please note that sturdy footwear is a prerequisite for our hikes.
