St. Johann in Tirol Reviews & Ratings

Quiet, safe and family friendly. Areas for Apres available but limited. 2 stops on the train from Kitzbühel (10 mins) which provides greater options.

Had an amazing holiday, snowboarding for the first time together. The snow was ace, the instructor for our lessons was really responsive to us, meeting where we were, and it was a nice size of resort for us. There was a brewery in town too, which was cool.

Great place for a family holiday lots of skiing in resort and Kitzbühel 10 minutes away. Loads of bars and restaurants with The Fischer hotel and bar a stand out!! Love it here and going back March 2026

Want Alpine charm? St. Johann has it in volumes! Tree lined runs, wide open 'easies', off-piste fun and family friendliness- it has it all! Ski school for the youngsters is conveniently located and for them to finish their day at the best bar on the edge of the piste is just perfect! Eating out options are plentiful and reasonably priced, with all the authenticity you could wish for. Overall, a lovely, family friendly location which is traditional, quality and spot on for snow lovers, both on and off the piste.

Very family friendly, short transfers, easy to access huge ski area- close to Kitzbühel/ ski welt
Not the cheapest town- but beautiful

Sankt Johann in Tirol is a lovely, little, family-friendly resort perfect for families looking to get away in Austria. The two main ski schools in the resort provide excellent options for people of all ages and abilities looking to improve their technique or get into skiing for the first time.

Whilst the resort itself is rather small you have great access to nearby resorts such as Kitzbuhel so people seeking to ride as many slopes as possible have a lot of options at hand.

The apres scene has fallen off in recent years. However, as with most Austrian ski resorts, you can still find friendly places for a beer after a day on the slopes! Michis bar in the centre of town is particularly good for a drink

Fantastic place, great slopes, friendly people, would return back again, great value for money. Slopes were great never busy.

Great resort with friendly people for regular skiers but wouldn't recommend for beginners there are no green runs and some of the blues are very steep. The village is well equipped and a choice of restaurants.

Good overall resort, nice blue and red runs with only one black run. Great food places up the mountain. Overall, more geared towards families

We spent Christmas 2023 in St Johan. We stayed out side town and at the base of the lifts for ease. Being Austria even though it was the warmest winter we've ever skied there was still plenty to go at. In the ski jewel area there are some cute huts, it's friendly, it's family friendly and also a great base. We got super ski passes and with a short (free) train ride were able to ski kitzbuel and ski welt areas which made for awesome big days out. Also meany different options for apres.

So close to Kitzbuhel by 8min train it opens up so many other great resorts.
Lift pass also gives access to public swimming and spa.
New red run lift amazing

Great base resort to explore the area with a full lift pass.
St.Johann itself is a small ski area, but you can hop on the train and be in Kitzbuhel in 10 mins.
Lots of other ski resorts included in the pass, so lots of variety, and a cosy effective way to explore the area

Went very soon after covid which was why it was so quiet.
Nonetheless, the town was absolutely stunning and very reasonably priced for drinks.
Lifts very modern.
Variety of ski runs very good for such a small resort.
Ski pass was great as you got access to a wide variety of resorts, and train was very reliable.

Great slopes that are nicely groomed. Good restaurants with beautiful views. Lift lines move quickly and theres even heated chairlift options.

Lovely resort with a variety of lifts and pistes to suit every level.
Also has my favourite ski cafe which is my happy place with friendly staff and gorgeous views across to kitsbul

We booked this resort for a better value ski trip. Lift queues where quiet and there is plenty of runs within St Johan, and neighbouring areas are accessible

Ideal base for exploring many different ski areas in a week with the area lift pass. Excellent transport links to Kitzbuhel, Waidring, Ski Welt and Fieberbrunn/Saalbach.
Apres ski low key but still many sociable and comfortable bars and cafes.

Great ski area, great school, very well connected the village is an alpine jewel. There is plenty of runs for everyone.
