Looking to find an easily accessible by train place to stay in the Tyrol for a few days. I was considering St Anton. Any recommendations?

It involves bus from the Landeck-Zams Bahnhof, but Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. A family friendly area with multiple lifts, Alms and things to do.
https://www.serfaus-fiss-ladis.at/en. Just an Idea.

Have you looked at photos or maybe even a YouTube video of St. Anton without snow? I found it totally depressing. A place that's 100% geared towards ski tourism often shows its ugly face without snow. I found it particularly bad in St. Anton. But maybe I just caught a bad day.

Consider staying in the Zillertal. Mayrhofen makes a good base.

St. Anton is first and foremost a ski resort. I’d recommend taking the bus from St. Anton to Lech am Arlberg in Vorarlberg (35 minutes). While Lech is also a ski destination, it’s absolutely enchanting, and the ski infrastructure doesn’t take away from the area’s natural beauty, except perhaps around Zürser See.

Seefeld, but that is not strictly Tyrol.
Limiting to strictly rail misses out on some great sites. I'd go to St. Anton, rent a car and drive to Nauders.

The official name of this town is Seefeld in Tirol, so don't tell the people there that they are not really Tyrol. :-)

A horrible error on my part. Thank you for the correction.
