Discover Sankt Johann in Tirol

Sankt Johann in Tirol offers a range of reasons to visit: mountain activities, culture, things to do for children and a weekly market. If you are looking for a hotel, first decide which of these themes matter for your stay. The options below focus on different aspects—from the mountain railway and a gravel bike tour to local history, activities for children and regional food.

Hiking, mountain biking and winter sports

For hiking and mountain biking, the Harschbichlbahn provides access to a popular area below the Kitzbüheler Horn. The railway operates seasonally, so check its operating times before making specific plans. The St. Johann Loop gravel bike tour passes through Oberndorf and St. Johann in Tirol. In St. Johann, it follows Römerweg, a route characterised by farmsteads and scenic sections.

Hikes to the summit offer 360-degree panoramic views of the Kitzbühel Alps.

In winter, the St. Johann in Tirol and Oberndorf ski area offers a total of 40 kilometres of pistes. A mountain railway providing access to the ski area is located close to the centre of St. Johann in Tirol. The figure of 40 kilometres of pistes describes the size of the area; the seasonal availability of lifts and pistes may change. Check current operating information before your day on the slopes.

Culture in town

The Museum St. Johann in Tirol is located in two historic buildings connected underground. It presents selected topics from the town’s history, as well as the exhibition focus “felsenreich – Mythos und Erlebnis Kaisergebirge”.

The deanery parish church was built between 1723 and 1732. Its uniform furnishings mark the beginning of the High Baroque period in the Tyrolean lowlands. The St. Johann Easter Sepulchre spans the full width of the altar area, is 11 metres high and is one of the largest Holy Sepulchres in Tyrol.

Activities for children and water attractions

The activities for children vary: at the Hornpark high ropes course, the focus is on courses and a Flying Fox zipline; at the museum, children can take part in a question-based scavenger hunt. The children’s course at Hornpark has 13 elements and a 25-metre-long Flying Fox zipline. It is open to children aged 3 and over who are at least 100 centimetres tall. Course information may change, so check the operator’s current age and height requirements before visiting.

At the museum, children can search for hidden bears and answer tricky questions in the “Bear Hunt at the Museum” discovery activity. Panorama Badewelt in St. Johann in Tirol has a 50-metre-long outdoor sports pool and a 55-metre-long large water slide.
