About St Johann Im Pongau
Operating year round as a resort town, St. Johann im Pongau has a romantic country ambiance and favorable ski slopes.
St. Johann im Pongau is a small town in the state of Salzburg in Austria. The town is located in the Salzach Valley of the Eastern Alps, between the Salzburg Slate Alps in the north, the Radstadt Tauern (part of the Niedere Tauern range) in the southeast and the Ankogel Group (Hohe Tauern) in the southwest. The town lies in the centre of the Salzburg Pongau region. Due to its picturesque setting, the area largely depends on tourism, Alpine skiing in winter and hiking in the summer months. A dramatic gorge called Liechtensteinklamm lies south of the town. This gorge is about 4 kilometres long and can be explored via walkways first built by Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein in 1875.
