St.Johann General Overview
For skiers who have never visited Austria before, and who have a brochure page idea of what the area is about, this resort might just fill the picture. Indeed, its special character and beauty play as large a role as the skiing facilities in drawing visitors. The resort retains its Austrian mountain atmosphere and character in spite of its sophistication, and, the area offers enough skiing challenge and diversity to please most enthusiasts. So it should come as no surprise that the place is largely successful. Besides retaining its natural style, St. Johann works hard to improve lift facilities, services and snow making capabilities in an attempt to compete against much bigger and higher resorts. However, besides all this marketing aggression, resort, lift and snow making improvements, and an active and pleasant apres ski scene, there has to be decent skiing to attract and hold the skiing community. St. Johann has good skiing, and terrain for any skiing standard. Starting from both ends of the village of St. Johann, or, if it is more convenient, from the neighboring village of Oberndorf, St. Johann can offer very challenging skiing guaranteed to tax the most demanding expert, or nice, long, gentle runs for those among you still in the confidence building stage. For those in between, the palace is a veritable dream. A ski pass is available only for St. Johann or St. Johann and surrounding villages. St. Johann in Tirol is reached by car from Kufstein, and by air from Innsbruck, Munich and Salzburg. |
