Chalets Hochkar and Gamskar St Anton

Nestled in the Nasserein area of St Anton, a short ski from the Rodel Hutte restaurant which catches the sun for longer than any other mountain restaurant, Chalets Hochkar and Gamskar are excellently positioned. After your après-ski tipple all you need to do is click into your skis and head down a short piste, or, if your mulled wine has fortified you enough, brave the St Anton Rodelbahn (toboggan run) which ends 300 metres from your chalet door.

The hamlet of Nasserein has a lot going for it – its

own bubble lift straight up to Gampen at 1850m, a major ski school meeting place and a choice of local bars and restaurants including Tom Dooley’s, all just 10 minutes’ walk from downtown St Anton. If you’d rather start your skiing from the Galzigbahn, you can still put your skis on at the chalet door and hop on one drag lift which will take you high enough to ski over to St Anton’s far side.

Chalets Hochkar and Gamskar are identical twins.

In fact, they share the same modern stone and timber building. Chalet Gamskar occupies all of the first floor, Hochkar the second floor, and both have been thoughtfully and luxuriously re-appointed over recent years. more...

In many respects they are the perfect modern chalet, with exceptionally spacious lounges and dining rooms and generous bedrooms with superb furnishings and fittings. Sleeping up to 11 in 5 bedrooms, both are perfect for big groups or families sharing. 4 of the 5 rooms have en suite shower rooms and one has a bath instead. If the views to St Anton from the large living/dining areas aren’t enough, the flatscreen TV, DVD player and BOSE iPod docking station are always there for the kids or a cosy night in.

Each morning starts with tea in bed, a cooked

breakfast and sinking your feet into warm ski boots fresh from the heated rack in the shared boot room. Alternatively, guests can choose to leave ski equipment at the Nasserein lift – if a pub crawl home from the piste is more your thing. Ski lifts are easily reached from the chalet along a short path, and there is always the Supertravel 4x4 on hand to take guests to the lift of your choice if the short walk feels too much.
