St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria: training, competition, regeneration
Biking, hiking and alpine mountain experiences: This is what the year-round sporty St. Anton am Arlberg stands for in the summer months. Against the striking Alpine backdrop of the Austrian "world village", numerous events have established themselves well into autumn. Competitions like the Arlberg Giro are always fast-paced and energy-sapping. But the picturesque landscape of the 150-kilometre route also attracts those participants to the starting line who are not competing for a top place and see the racing bike classic as an experience. A valuable side effect of the exercise on the mountain: the lower oxygen content at medium altitudes is perfect for fitness and endurance training, which is why numerous professional athletes also appreciate the alpine surroundings of St. Anton am Arlberg (1,304 metres). Things get more relaxed in September, when balance and dance in the soothing Tyrolean air round off the warm season. www.stantonamarlberg.com

The four-day programme - this year under the motto "Diversity" - includes sessions of different styles for every level. The participants decide for themselves how intensive or relaxed they want their stay to be. Beyond the mat, yogis can look forward to guided walks, workshops, lectures, gentle sounds and healthy cuisine with regional ingredients.
