If you only think of the Arlberg as a winter destination, you'll be surprised to discover that the mountain has still more to offer in summer. Hiking and mountain biking are just the tip of the Arlberg – or the iceberg. You can go climbing, rafting, kayaking, canyoning, swimming, play golf and much, much more!

On the first night of your visit in summer, you will receive your St. Anton summer card for no extra charge. This card entitles you to receive a variety of discounts, from free mountain railways and museums to swimming pool entry and green fees.
