Plot plan
– 21 detached or semi-detached chalets are to be builtNo Rental Obligation
Every EU citizen can have permanent residence in Austria and you can elect to use your Apartment as your main home if you choose. If you do not want to live in your chalet permanently you are obliged to make it a ‘holiday home’, as opposed to a ‘second home’. There are two ways you can do this:
Private Holiday Home – For owners wanting to make the maximum use of their apartments and have complete flexibility, they can rent their chalet privately to friends and family.
Rental Holiday Home – For owners wanting to maximise the potential income their chalet could generate by renting through a tour operator whilst it is unoccupied. There can be tax advantages to this, please see our Austrian fact sheet for further information. If you would like to rent your chalet in this way the developer has a tour operator they can recommend to you.
Which ever option you choose, the dedicated management company can deal with the hand-over of keys for your guests, and a laundry and cleaning service will deal with the change-over when your guests have departed if you require.

Après Ski - St Anton
It is perhaps not surprising that the Orient Express stops at St. Anton – this is the playground for the rich wanting to party late into the night!

Fresh from the slopes people often meet at one of the piste-side bars such as “Mooserwirt” when you can drink and relax until 8pm, then you simply ski down into the town where a vast choice awaits you. The most popular bar is undoubtedly “Kandahar” which serves exquisite Thai meals and lets you party until 6am, but there is plenty on offer here for every palate.
