So you think that there may be a few perks to living on a ski resort, do you? Well, if the Ski resort is anything like St Anton am Arlberg in Austria, you can bet your bottom dollar there are more than a few.

Summer months, with snow a mere promise away, have St Anton taking on a new identity . The breathtaking scenery has a fresh appeal. Gone are the spectacular crisp, white gems to be replaced with a rural beauty rarely surpassed. The air invigorates, whether in the cold startling way of winter or the heady one of summer. Good health is a bonus for the population here, with no smog related health issues. Austria, more rugged than Switzerland, is magnificent whenever you visit but to live here is a dream.

An excess of activities such as hiking, paragliding, good dining experiences, cable cars, skiing, film festivals, brass bands and sporting competitions mean this resort ranks high in any travellers estimation. As a base to explore Austria it is in a perfect position.

Living here, and watching the snow transform the scenery into a winter wonderland each year, without fail, is magical. The biggest perk for a skier of course is to have this dream as a reality on your doorstep. To wake up early in the morning to the solid silence, which fills the air, after a heavy fall of snow, and to be able to be the first person to glide along this snow is hard to beat. Taking advantage of the rare times before the tourists arrive is the best perk ever.

Living on a Ski resort has to be a perfect dream for a skier. To be able to practise your performance on the slopes whenever you will is fabulous. To be able to experience the wonder of breathtaking scenery, as part of your daily routine, is unbelievable. Even the many visitors have some benefits as it is great to met with so many nationalities on a daily basis.
