Ski Bums Week St. Anton am Arlberg: Snow-Sure Skiing in April & Legendary Spring Vibes
From April 6 to 13, 2025, St. Anton am Arlberg will celebrate the legendary Ski Bums Week – a tribute to the wild pioneers who helped shape the Arlberg into one of the world's most renowned ski destinations. Perfectly blending snow-sure slopes, the iconic spring skiing experience, and the popular Tanzcafé Arlberg Festival, this week promises to be a highlight of the season.
Skiing in April: Snow-Sure and Sunny in St. Anton am Arlberg
For those wondering where to ski in April, St. Anton am Arlberg is the perfect answer. Thanks to the Arlberg's exceptional snow reliability, the slopes remain in top condition well into spring. The high altitude, state-of-the-art snowmaking systems, and decades of expertise in slope maintenance ensure that skiers and snowboarders can enjoy perfectly groomed runs deep into the season.
Spring skiing at the Arlberg is particularly popular, offering a unique combination of sunshine, soft corn snow, and relaxed après-ski moments in cozy mountain huts.
What Are Ski Bums – and Why Are They Important to the Arlberg?
The term Ski Bums describes a unique breed of winter sports enthusiasts: people who leave everything behind to spend a season – or even a lifetime – in the mountains. They work in bars, hotels, or for the ski lifts, making the most of every free moment on the slopes.
During the 1960s and 70s, St. Anton attracted an international community of Ski Bums who not only carved the first tracks in the deep snow but also helped shape the Arlberg’s legendary reputation as a hotspot for adventurers, free spirits, and ski enthusiasts. Their spirit still defines the region today – and that’s exactly why the Ski Bums Week is dedicated to them.
Spring Skiing & Live Music: Tanzcafé Arlberg Festival
At the same time as Ski Bums Week, the Tanzcafé Arlberg Music Festival turns St. Anton into a vibrant stage. From April 6 to 13, 2025, live bands and DJs will provide the perfect soundtrack for Spring Skiing.
On the sun terraces of mountain huts, guests can enjoy corn snow, panoramic views, and live music from international artists – from swing and jazz to soul, funk, and electronic beats.
