BEFORE TOURISM
Before the resort map
The linked local overview does not preserve a clear account of St. Anton before modern tourism.
This edition leaves that part of the timeline open rather than mistaking the first surviving sporting reference for the beginning of the place.

ACCESS CHANGES

On the western edge of village is the "Galzigbahn" which has been replaced by a Funitel gondola.

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
St. Anton is recorded at 47.130° N, 10.268° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,811 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
