Editor's Pick

Book Hospiz Alm for slopeside lunch or a special dinner in St. Christoph. For another hotel dining room, Maiensee Stuben accepts outside dinner guests by advance reservation.

THE FOOD SCENE

Hospiz Alm serves skiers beside the piste and takes reservations for evening dining. A short walk within the hamlet leads to Maiensee Stuben, which offers à la carte lunch and a prebooked hotel dinner menu for outside guests.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Make an afternoon stop on the Hospiz Alm terrace when it is operating. If you head to the livelier bars in St. Anton, check the evening bus or book a taxi back to the pass before leaving.
