St Johann in Tirol 

Relaxed Tirolean town

Great for beginners and intermediates.St. Johann lies in a valley basin between the mountain range of the Wilder Kaiser and the Kitzbüheler Horn. The slopes are mainly north facing, resulting in a good snow record. All but one of the runs are either Blue or Red making it an ideal base for beginners and intermediates. Advanced skiiers will find the local slopes limited but the 6 day lift pass provides access to 170km of slopes in the Schneewinkle ski area. The town has a pretty, pedestrianised centre where most of the bars and hotels are situated. It is however, a living town with busy traffic, a spread out feel and industrial estates on the outskirts. Most accommodation is a fair walk from the main lift, although some accommodation can be found closer. The mountain restaurants are good and locals seem to spend as much time eating and drinking as they do skiing.
