Luxury Chalet Illimani, completed 2009, is a stunning family retreat which combines traditional Tyrolian craftsmanship with elegance and a relaxing atmosphere. This exclusive chalet has everything you could desire in a modern family chalet, while still retaining the look and feel of a charming Tyrolian home.

The chalet is located at the edge of a forest in a quiet sunny spot facing the Hohe Riffler glacier and overlooking the picturesque village of Pettneu am Arlberg.

It is furnished with aged leather chairs, antique Austrian hand painted furniture, Moroccan light fittings and a library. The open plan kitchen and dining area is designed as a traditional Austrian Stube comfortably seating 12 to14 people and has its own wood stove with a resting place on top which keeps you warm and cosy after a cold day skiing.

St Anton is one of the best high alpine resorts in the world and there are also plenty of luxury ski chalets to choose from. St Anton has some of the most consistently challenging and extensive slopes in the Alps covering the local mountains as well as those of neighbouring St Christoph, Lech and Zurs and apres-ski scene to match. Apres-ski commences in the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh on the slopes above St Anton and by 4pm tables become dancing platforms for ski boot clad revellers celebrating a good day on the slopes. There are many great bars and clubs in town too for those that don't want to walk far back to their ski chalet. St Anton has many bars staying open until well into the early hours for those that just can't get enough.
