In a quieter, sunny part of St Anton, the Arlen Lodge Hotel is separated from the main slope by a flat meadow. It's just a 5 minutes' walk from the Nasserein cable car and nursery area, and around a 10-minute walk to the centre of town – or you can hop on the free ski bus, which stops outside.
The Arlen Lodge has a rich history and an inviting atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. Each of the rooms has been individually decorated, with comfort as the main priority. After a day on the slopes, you can make your way back to the hotel and head to the sauna or steam room for a bit of R & R.
Mealtimes are a treat too. The day starts with a varied breakfast buffet and the optional evening meals in Theo's Taverne are a delicious offering of traditional Tyrolean and international dishes, made with fresh local produce. You can also stop at the bar for a snack, or sit back with a drink in the evenings.

Austrian twin beds
Austrian twin beds are very common in Central Europe. They’re simply one large bed frame containing two single mattresses, both with separate duvets and linen sets, that cannot be separated. Separate twin beds are less common and can often be head to head beds, rather than side by side, if they are available.

Getting here
When you arrive in St Anton, the coaches aren’t able to take you right up to the door of your accommodation. Instead, you’ll be dropped off at a central location in the resort. From here, a smaller vehicle will pick you up and drive you the rest of the way through the pretty streets to the Arlen Lodge Hotel.
Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.

While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
