Guía de Estación de Esquí St Johann-Alpendorf

St Johann-Alpendorf is situated 60km south of Salzburg, in Austria. St Johann-Alpendorf is part of the Ski Amadé area which has a total of 876km of piste, fed by 276 lifts over a number of connecting valleys. The St Johann-Alpendorf area is suitable for all levels of ability. The pistes are managed very well indeed and are regularly pisted, snow moved from place to place to ensure the best conditions and, in colder weather, well provided by snow-canons. Off-piste areas are available for those who look. Accommodation at St Johann-Alpendorf is either in one or two larger hotels of high standard (Alpenland, for example) or smaller hotels or guest-houses. In Alpendorf the standard is very high indeed, but comes with higher price-tags, partly due to the proximity to the main ski lifts. Apres-ski is very lively in the few mountain lodges on the way down to the valley and bars in Alpendorf stay open late. Expansion of the ski resort area (including Alpendorf) is typical of the commitment of the resort and the region to meaningful, but balanced and environmentally considered development of the skiing and snowboarding areas.
