When I visited the slopes around this Alpine idyll last winter, I quickly understood how they had become so inspired.
The first hotel in the village was founded by a shepherd in the 1300s to provide shelter to travellers crossing the Arlberg pass. A few more have popped up since then, but not many, lending it a more serene atmosphere than its larger, more boisterous neighbour, St Anton.
I settled in at the refurbished Hotel Arlberg in St Christoph, which is run by English firm VIP Ski. The hotel has bags of charm, good food, spacious rooms and wonderful hospitality. Even better, it is right next to the lifts.
