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. |
