St Johann in Tyrol - Introduction
The small, intimate and quaint town of St Johan in Tyrol stands in the shadow of the Kitzbuheler Horn and the Wilder Kaiser mountains. But don't be mistaken into thinking this is a sleepy backwater as St Johan has a buzzing vibe made up from the distinctly international flavour of its visitors. The skiing benefits from having an excellent snow record due to many north facing slopes and with a varying degree of terrain for all kinds of skiers. By purchasing an area lift pass, skiers gain access to 9 other resorts. The nightlife here is lively with many bars and several clubs and with over 50 restaurants there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

A well-planned lift network, including super efficient gondolas, means no delays getting up the mountain.
