In a nutshell
Nice little place with some history.... but it was all in Austrian
JohnniOmani Says: The Tirol Mountains are gorgeous and trekking and biking through them is a highlight of travelling to Austria. There are cable cars that go up to the moutain tops during the summer and you can take in the views from above. The cables are used during the winter for skiing but...
Kiera Says: You should also check out the Panorama Badewelt - it really is a super complex - 1 indoor pool, 1 kiddie pool (very nice), indoor water slide, outside there is a olympic sized swimming pool, 2 kiddie pools with more water slides and a playground. Not to mention the...
Sauna complex at Panorama Badewelt
Kiera Says: For 13.50 Euros you can spend as much time as you like at the Saunawelt. 2 aroma steam rooms, outside sauna, plunge pool, 3 indoor saunas, footwashing section, relaxation area, showers, some with massage jets, some with crushed ice! Really fab complex. You can hire towels or...
sandysmith Says: The town's fountain, just near the main square, gives honour to a roman catholic priest who in 1809 boldly faced the enemy all alone at the entrance of the parish and asked the French general Lefebre in perfect French to spare the village. The general, surprised by the...
4 Reviews and 6 Opinions A very comfortable hotel. A short walk from the centre of the town with its painted houses
2 Reviews and 9 Opinions Stayed from Oct. 23-25, 2007. Had some trouble finding it with the directions I had. I got to the...
Grill Snacks Pizza: Cheap Eats
Peterodl Says: The Grill is a popular place with the younger set, mostly teenagers and early 20 year olds, in Sankt Johann but I did see a few parents with thier children place orders. You can eat inside and watch tv while you enjoy your food or you can order take-away from the walk-up...
Hanau93 Says: The restaurant/hotel is located at the foot of a mountain that is accsible by a chairlift so that is certainly an added bonus. The service was always good and it is quite cosy as the rooms reflect the Tirolian style. Definitely the CHAMPION SCHNITZEL..( mushroom...
Bunnys Pub: Snow Bunnies on a night out
mustardgirl Says: It was the liveliest place in St. Johann. Although Austria is known for the best after-ski, this region was meant to be one of the quietest. Bunny’s pub proved it wrong though. It was good fun!Every night there is a different theme: karaoke, live music, 2 eur night etc.We...
Peterodl Says: In the town Catholic Church, the pulpit has something I've never seen before in a church. Coming out of the pulpit, there is an arm holding out a cross. Now, I was explained by a local that this is meant to be a symbol meaning that the person reading scripture in the pulpit...
nattybabe Says: I also went canyoning whilst in St Johann - this was in 2001 and as it's a dangerous activity it may not still be running. We drove around 1 hour out of town to the drop off point, got decked out in our wetsuits and special shoes and headed off! We started by learning how to...
nattybabe Says: In summer, St Johann is a fantastic place to try out the adventure sports. On a clear day, you can catch the gondola up to the top of the mountain and paraglide off the top of the black run. I did this as a tandem glide and it was amazing to just sit back and enjoy the...
Walk down from Harschbichl to Mittelstat
Kiera Says: Get the cable car to the top (Harschbichl). There you will find, apart from the marvellous views, a café and fab children's play area complete with old Reliant Robin for them to trash! If you have young children you can take your buggy up as the paths are very good, although...
A look at the Kitzbuheler Horn from mid station.
dabidc Says: This was one of the days tah this mountain was free from cloud around its summit. The Kitzbuheler Horn can be accessed from Kitzbuhel by gondola and then it is possible to hike to St Johann depending on your skills at climbing and hiking. The first section from the top is a...
A mirror view of the restaurant/cafe.
dabidc Says: I took the photo using a window as amirror, so all is reversed in the front of the cafe. It is simply a look back at the visit to St Johann, for apart from adding some more photos to a travelogue, I will leave St Johann and hope that if and when you visit you will enjoy the...
dabidc Says: The return journey was broken by a visit to a cafe/restaurant called Hirschberg, to the west side of the road heading downhill. The approach was to a fram house, the barns at first , then the living area,then a cafe with an outside eating are shaded by umbrellas. I sat...
Keep going to the right and fall off the end!!
dabidc Says: The end at the right is the point where the path from St Johann meets the Brg. The hikers were going to the picnic tables sinc eit was about noon. I found the visitors were from the German speaking part of Belgium. On a tour in the area and stayed in St Johann.
Berg See is so small. Walk around in 10 minutes.
dabidc Says: The Berg See is located at Restaurant Kosaberg, which was closed on the day. I found many good places for views and some are shown in the following pics.When I arrived one other hiker was resting on the bench.
The view is more to the north east of St Johann
dabidc Says: I guess the first time in the area, even with a good map, it is not possible to be certain which mountains are visible. I believe the small town is Kirchdorf and the mountain behind could be Unterberghorn and possibly Feldberg is also visible. I estimate I was near...
Hinter Kaiser and Nieder Kaiser in the background
dabidc Says: Once you leave the trees and follow the road, there is more chance to see the views. On the way up you pass a launch site ( starting place) for a ride down the mountain on sleds in a concrete track.
Kiera Says: Our rep told us that the old farmhouses are built with a cowshed at the rear as the cows help to keep the house warm in winter. Find time if you can to have a walk round the rural outskirts of St Johann - a real mix of old farmhouses and modern buildings, all very beautiful...
sandysmith Says: Just enjoy strolling around the town and admire the beautiful frescoes and deorated oriels that are everwhere. This blue house - the Landhaus Schwarzinger - towards one end of the town was a favourite. It is a baroque farmhouse from the 17th century.If interested in the...

St Johann in Tirol, my choice was picture perfect.
The model is an excellent replica of the type of home one associates with rural Austria especially with the mountains as a back drop. This location, with the Wilder Kaiser mountains the...

St Johann is one of the main towns in the Tirol. Great for shopping, lots of nice boutiques, great for cafes to relax in and great for pastel coloured frescoed buildings!

St.Johann- My favourite town in Tirol
St. Johann is a beautiful town that is surrounded by the Wilde Kaiser mountain range and the Kitzbuehler Horn close by. It has its own charm and I always preferred it to Kitzbuehel as it still has...
