St Johann Ski Holidays

St Johann is the kind of ski resort in Austria that families return to year after year for cheap family skiing holidays at a traditional Tyrolean mountain resort, where nothing is ever too much trouble and where families are always warmly welcomed.

 

Although St Johann is not one of the smallest picture postcard mountain resorts in the Tyrol, it still retains a compact feel, despite the fact that it has a population of 8,000, and can boast plenty of streets, shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. You’ll also find excellent ski schools at St Johann, where skiers of all ages and abilities can find tuition to suit them, providing by friendly, English-speaking instructors. The town facilities and amenities include everything you need when on a cheap skiing holiday in Austria (banks, chemists, hairdressing salons, internet cafes, etc).

 

Although family skiing holidays at St Johann are what the resort does best, individual travellers, couples and groups can also book a cheap skiing holiday at St Johann through directline-skiing and have a good time, all at a surprisingly affordable price. You’re sure to make new friends there amongst the tourists from other countries and also the Austrians themselves. Why? Because St Johann not only attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over Europe each season, it is also the ski resort of choice for native Austrians who often head for the resort from cities like Vienna to enjoy great skiing. Many claim that a St Johann skiing holiday is “what they look forward to all year”, and make the most of their skiing break there, both on the slopes and in the bars and clubs after dinner!

 

Although first-time skiers can get to grips with skis, ski poles, and those tightly snow-packed nursery slopes at St Johann feeling safe and properly taught by the patient instructors there, the skiing on offer on a St Johann skiing holiday booked through directline-skiing goes well beyond that: intermediate skiers and advanced skiers can find skiing challenges at St Johann where they can test themselves and develop their skiing skills even further. (St Johann is perched at a height of almost 700m and has a skiable area of 60km).

 

Because St Johann is situated between the Kitzbuhel Horn and the Wilderkaiser Mountains, that means those visiting the resort from the UK are in for a real treat: the stunning scenery, pure Alpine air that is so invigoratingly fresh, and the way the winter sun shines down gloriously from clear blue skies for hours-on-end day-after-day during the season is something that will stay with you forever.

 

At St Johann, there are plenty of shopping, dining and après-ski options to choose from, and a range of budgets are catered for. For those who fancy a taste of large town or city life, day trips to Innsbruck, Kitzbuhel and Salzburg can all be added to a St Johann holiday ‘things to do’ list. A bus or train from St Johann will get you to these places quickly, and have you back in time for dinner at a traditional mountainside restaurant where you and your family and friends can all tuck into hearty Austrian cuisine and chat excitedly about your day (and the days ahead).
