St.
Johann, Austria |
 |
|
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 indrawing
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. |
