What Christmas is like in each
Christmas in St Anton am Arlberg
Excellent. St Anton is a real village with a pedestrianised centre, and the week before Christmas it is decorated beautifully. The combination of a proper Austrian Christmas and busy bars is unusual and works better than it sounds.

Christmas in Ischgl
Loud. Ischgl decorates well and the village is attractive enough, but Christmas here runs into the New Year party rather than pausing for it. Groups who want that will have a very good week.
