Travel: Unsung Resorts: Calm St Christoph
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For those who love St Anton, staying in the lively village itself is half the fun. The other half is the splendid, high, super-snowy ski area. But you can have one without the other and if, like me, you view your evenings more as avant-lit rather than apres-ski, there is a lot to be said for St Christoph. You can eat and drink well here without feeling that you are expected to do anything more energetic. You have a choice of routes into the Galzig skiing: one of the world's smallest cable-cars or else a two-drag sequence. The home slopes are less prone to slush and ice than those of St Anton, and you have slightly quicker bus or car access to the even snowier ski areas of Zurs and Lech, covered by the ski pass. There is only one drawback: high prices. Not all the hotels are as pricey as the stratospheric Hospiz hotel, but St Christoph is not a budget destination.
