About Sporthotel Austria
Sporthotel Austria sits in the heart of St. Johann in Tirol, a traditional Austrian village with direct access to the Kitzbüheler Alpen ski area. The hotel is family-run by the Gatt family, whose hands-on approach shapes the standard of food, service and overall guest experience throughout. Interiors are modern and well-lit, striking a balance between contemporary comfort and alpine character. The package includes half board, meaning breakfast and dinner are taken care of, alongside flights and transfers — a straightforward, all-in arrangement that suits those who want to arrive and ski without the logistics. After time on the mountain, the sun terrace offers a natural wind-down spot for après drinks, while the indoor pool, sauna and steam room provide proper recovery for tired legs. The hotel also features a bar and restaurant on-site. With ski-in, ski-out access and a lift on the property, getting to and from the slopes requires minimal effort. A solid, well-rounded base for a week in the Austrian Alps.

Location
St. Johann in Tirol is a working alpine village with genuine character — independent shops, local bars and restaurants within a five-minute walk of the hotel. The village gondola is three minutes on foot, making early starts and last lifts equally straightforward. The resort connects to the wider Kitzbüheler Alpen ski area on select passes, giving access to varied terrain across one of the Tirol's most established ski regions. Road and transfer connections to the area are well established, and with flights and transfers included in this package, arrival logistics are handled from the outset. The combination of ski-in, ski-out access and an on-site lift means the mountain is immediately accessible from the hotel door.

St. Johann in Tirol is a classic, picturesque Tyrolean market town nestled in a broad valley between the Kitzbüheler Horn and the imposing Wilder Kaiser mountain range. Unlike its glitzier neighbor Kitzbühel, St. Johann offers a relaxed, welcoming, and down-to-earth Austrian atmosphere. The village itself features beautiful frescoed buildings, a bustling center, and an array of shops and traditional cafes. The ski area is situated primarily on the snow-sure, north-facing side of the Kitzbüheler Horn. With around 43 kilometers of pistes, it is a compact but highly enjoyable resort that heavily favors families, beginners, and intermediates. The resort is particularly famous for its high density of rustic, high-quality mountain huts (Hütten) scattered across the slopes, making it a favorite for those who value long, cozy lunch breaks as much as the skiing itself. While advanced skiers might find the local terrain limited after a few days, St. Johann's location in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps makes it an excellent base. The regional Super Ski Card opens up thousands of kilometers of varied terrain in nearby resorts like Kitzbühel, SkiWelt, and Fieberbrunn, all easily accessible by car or train.
The skiing is characterized by long, wide, and beautifully groomed blue and red pistes that weave through scenic pine forests. The terrain is highly forgiving, making it a perfect playground for confident beginners and intermediate cruisers looking to perfect their carving turns without the stress of massive crowds.
The Kitzbühel Alps region is renowned for its rolling grassy mountains, charming Tyrolean villages, and the extensive Super Ski Card network, which connects some of Austria's largest ski domains.
