About Sport Pete
Sport Pete is one of St. Anton am Arlberg's independently owned sports shops, occupying a street-level location at Dorfstraße 17 in the heart of the village pedestrian zone. Integrated with the Hotel Pete — a family-run Arlberg institution — the shop serves both hotel guests and walk-in customers with ski and snowboard rental, technical clothing, and expert equipment advice rooted in decades of local mountain knowledge.
The rental operation covers alpine ski and snowboard packages across ability levels, from beginner setups with forgiving flex patterns through to high-performance demo skis suited to St. Anton's demanding off-piste terrain. Boot fitting is handled with genuine care — the team understands that a well-fitted boot transforms the skiing experience, and they invest the time needed to get shell selection, liner heat-moulding, and binding calibration right. The retail side carries a curated selection of technical ski clothing, helmets, goggles, and accessories from premium brands.
What makes Sport Pete stand out in St. Anton's competitive rental market is its intimate, personal atmosphere. Unlike the multi-branch chain operations that dominate the village, Sport Pete is a single-location shop where the staff know returning guests by name and remember their preferences from season to season. The hotel integration adds convenience — guests can collect and return equipment without stepping outside — and the Dorfstraße location is an easy walk from both the Galzigbahn and Nassereinbahn lift stations.
