The range

St. Anton is where freeriders come to test themselves — big, steep, lift-served terrain and a legendary après at the bottom.

The Valluga, Schindler and Rendl open into serious faces, couloirs and bowls. It gets tracked fast, so timing and knowing the aspects is everything. (Placeholder copy.)

We chase the storm cycles and hunt the sheltered stashes that stay good after the fronts pass. Some of the best lines need a short bootpack — which is where a guide earns their keep.

Signature lines (sample — swap for your favourites)

Rendl backcountry

Quieter sunny-side terrain and tour-access lines away from the crowds.

S/SE~700 mAdvanced

Snowpack, honestly. Heavy Atlantic snowfall means wind slab and storm-slab management is the daily job — aspect and timing are everything. (Replace with your real avalanche notes.)
