Welcome to St Johann im Pongau Ski Resort
St Johann im Pongau (not to be confused with St Johann in Tirol), is a mountain town south of Salzburg with easy access to some of the closest slopes to the city around the resorts of Alpendorf, Wagrain-Kleinarl, Flachau, and Zauchensee.
Combined, the region boasts 210km of slopes, 70 lifts and 85 mountain huts. This is family and first-timer friendly terrain – most runs are rated either easy or intermediate. But there is some steep stuff too and some decent off-piste, especially through the trees in Zauchensee.
Top tip: stay in Alpendorf (ten minutes from St Johann) for the best access to the slopes.

Things to do in St Johann im Pongau
St Johann is the place to come if you’re after a winter holiday, not just a ski trip. On the cultural side you’ve got castles, cathedrals and Salzburg’s Christmas markets all on the doorstep. On the mountain there’s a toboggan run, cross-country skiing, winter hiking, a terrain park, and extensive ski touring around the region.
St Johann is a beautiful market town, with a history dating back to the 10th century. As far as après goes, it may lack some of the madness you can expect in bigger resorts, but it more than makes up for it in character.
