About the area

St Johann in Tirol is a small-to-mid-sized area: 31 km of pistes, of which 53% (16 km) are green or blue and only about 1% count as black. That balance makes it a straightforward place to learn or to build confidence, with two magic carpets for first turns and eight short easy runs sitting next to a lift base. Intermediates have 14 km of red pistes to work through. Experts will find little here — almost no black terrain, and the biggest vertical on a single run is 599 m.

Ten lifts serve the slopes, including four gondolas, so small children never have to load a chairlift; there are also two chairlifts and two surface tows. The skiing runs from 665 m to 1599 m, which is low, so conditions depend heavily on the weather rather than altitude. The longest descent measures 2529 m.
