For a great winter holiday, ski St Johann in Tirol for Tyrolean charm and great skiing and snowboarding in Austria. In the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps with miles of excellent slopes for beginners and intermediates, you are based in the Schneewinkl ski area. Read our guide for all you need to know.

Where?

Now including the Schneewinkel pass at no extra charge, ski St Johann in Tirol for a superb range of skiing & snowboarding pistes - based at the north face of Kitzbüheler Horn. With a ski area total of 55 ski lifts and 182km of runs across a variety of smaller resorts, it's only just over the mountain from Kitzbühel. However, the two aren't lift-linked due to bureaucratic conflicts. Access is relatively simple either from Salzburg, Innsbruck or Munich.

WE LIKE

Small picturesque traffic free village. Many slopes are north facing so snow record is generally good.
The area pass opens up the Schneewinkl ski area comprising 10 ski resorts. This area is a mecca for cross country skiers.
Intermediates will love it here and at the neighbouring resorts.Lots of good mountain restaurants and traditional food in resort.

WE DON'T LIKE

Local slopes very limited, with little to interest experts.
Can be crowded on peak weekends, or when nearby resorts with less reliable snow are suffering.
Ski areas tend to be on the outskirts of the town so you may have to get a bus first thing in the morning.

On the Slopes

Ski St Johann in Tirol and get reliable snow due to many north-facing slopes and a lift pass that gives access to 9 other resorts. This is an established family destination, with wide open cruisy blues and some reds - accessible on the outskirts of the resort. Eichenhof I and II offer a long drag to the top of the mountain for you to access some quiet nursery slopes. Alternatively, use the Harschbischl Gondola straight to the top of the mountain from where you can access all the slopes. There is terrain for all levels, a lot of tree lined runs and with the 60km of pistes available locally, predominantly for beginners and lower intermediates - this is a great place for families or those just learning. More advanced skiers will want to take advantage of the Kitzbühel Alps Ski Pass with its extensive options both on and off piste. You can also drive round to Kitzbühel to get into that circuit of slopes - takes about 20 minutes if you time it right.

Ski Area

If you ski St Johann in Tirol you are also in the ski region of Schneewinkl.

Off the Slopes

When you are tired from a day of skiing, you'll find a great selection of après-ski spots to help you unwind. Whether you opt for traditional food in a Tyrolean inn, or international choices at one of the many restaurants is down to your tastes and your budget. After dinner the après-ski scene really picks up with loads of bars and discos to choose from including the popular Tanzcafe. A great resort for children and families, there are a wide range of off piste activities and facilities.

Who's it Best For?

Great for intermediate skiers and boarders. It's also something of a mecca for cross country skiers.
