Sankt Johann in the Pongau

St. Johann im Pongau is located in the southern part of the state of Salzburg and is the capital of the Pongau county. The city is known throughout Austria for its beautiful hiking trails and as an ideal place for a skiing holiday. St. Johann is located in the Salzachtal, which is the largest valley in Salzburg. The small town is a tourist destination for outdoor enthusiasts, but also hides sights such as the beautiful cathedral, which certainly deserves a visit. The hotels and the town are separated, so the town has almost managed to preserve its original structure.

Also visit the Arthurstollen, an old tunnel used for copper mining. The tunnel is at least 1600 years old and parts of it are open to the public.

Visit this charming little town surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery Salzburg has to offer.

Visitors can explore a 1 km accessible pathway of wooden walkways, bridges, tunnels, and the impressive 30-meter “Helix” spiral staircase added after recent renovations. The trail leads to a waterfall and offers views that feel both powerful and peaceful thanks to misty air, mossy cliffs, and cascading streams.
