Anton. (Station two minutes walk from the centre of town).

Not any more it isn't, it moved in 2001. With skis and bags it's a 5
minute taxi ride to the centre of town. It's walkable if you're you not
laden down, but it's a good 15 minutes.

Mmmm

Maybe I'mforgetful about distance but my take is that it used to be
literally in the centre of town. I have been for the last two years and
walked with baggage including skis to my hotel in less than 15 minutes, I
would be surprised if it took more than five minutes to the main street .

It was right in the centre of town, literally outside he back door of
the Alte Post, but not for the last couple of years, it moved just
before the 2002 World Championships. It is now a little way out of the
town, not too far but not as handy as it used to be.

Of course you can still walk, depends on where your hotel is and how far
you feel like carrying your bags. If you're staying to the west of the
centre then it may be more convenient than before.

The move has freed up a lot of space and the level crossing is gone, but
I can't help feeling that town has lost a bit of it's charm with the move.

Absolutley, the area around the old station and tracks feels like a kind of
no mans land now, I guess some sort of atmosphere will develop over the
years though..

In Lech the hotel will pick you up from the Arlberg Express stop - at most a
10 minute walk from my hotel.

Seconded. An outrage its removal was.

Have these people no shame ? No sense of history ? I have a mind to go
into politics on a "Restoration of the level crossing to St Anton"
platform.
