St. Johann - Schneewinkel ski resort
Snow Range
700-2020m
a charming town with an excellent snow record & good position in the Schneewinkel ski area
St. Johann is a small, picturesque town nestling between the towering Kitzbüheler Horn and the majestic Wilder Kaiser mountains. There's a vibrant international feel here, yet the resort retains all the charm of a traditional Tirolean village with its 'picture postcard' centre. With many north-facing slopes, the resort boasts a good snow record and is an excellent choice for groups of mixed ability skiers. The area pass ('Schneewinkel') opens up a wealth of other possibilities, encompassing the ski areas of Waidring/Steinplatte and Fieberbrunn, all linked by local bus services. The Steinplatte area even allows you to ski/board into Germany!
