(I answered a question about a previous post. The answer may be useful as a post of it’s own.)

To find a job for a winter season in St. Anton you can go directly to the skischool and apply for a job.

You can get a beginner level ski- or snowboard instructor license in about 2 weeks provided that you’re a comfortable skier/ boarder. (Not super, just decent. You will be drilled during the course.) The ski school can help you with this or you can go directly to an academy like: http://www.snowsports-academy.at/

For other kinds of jobs, a local link that might work is: http://www.arlberg.info/?mID=36

You could also try something like: http://www.natives.co.uk/ Also, just contact the tourist office and ask them for a list: http://www.stantonamarlberg.com/

Hi Mienke,

You can do that. It becomes more difficult to find something nice the longer you wait though… After Christmas/ New Years, when some ski-bums have had enough, ran out of money or have been fired there will be new job opportunities. By then you will have built a local network and you can switch jobs if necessary.In any case it is best to find something before you arrive.Have you considered becoming an instructor? You might still be able to sign-up for the course that will be held at the beginning of December.(To contact the skischool, follow the link above.)BTW: Don’t think you don’t get to serious skiing/ boarding if you’re an instructor!.

See you there,

Hugo

Hi,

Found your post on the web and thought mite be usefull. I’m travelling to St Anton on the 25th Nov. Don’t have a job yet, although i have looked and applied at some of the sites. Is it ok to go over without a job and then go from door to door?

I’m so excited about the prospect of spending the winter season in St Anton.

Thanks
