St Johann-Alpendorf Ski Resort Guide
St Johann-Alpendorf Ski Resort Guide
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.

Visitor Reviews of St Johann-Alpendorf
Blair Scott from Austria writes:
I have been in Alpendorf for a number of years now in association with Snowslippers, and it has yet to disappoint. There is terrain for everyone if you know where to look.
There are plenty of pistes which offer blue to black levels of difficulty. If you are interested in off-piste, then the trees and the Stegbach lift are challenging and fun.
The Better Park is available to those of a freestyle disposition, but not so challenging for beginners to feel intimidated.
All in all, with the right guides/instructors, you can have a great time over a weeks trip.
