Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening,
I've a few days in St Johann im Pongau next week. Staying in the main town, so assume I'll be bussing up to Alpendorf and back at the beginning and end of the day,
I've never been anywhere near here before, so any info on :
Restaurants in town and on the slopes offering good value/food.
The best skiing I can comfortably get to and back in a day without spending the whole day on lifts. (I'm a decent enough skier and reasonably fit)
Any recommendations on a decent ski school to join for a day if I fancy being idle and also feel the need to be sociable.
Thanks in advance.
dt.

@pendodave, like you say Alpendorf is your best starting point. You can easily ski over to Wagrain then over to Flachau if you like and you won't feel like you're on lifts all day. Personally I'd spend the first day exploring all the skiing between Alpendorf and down to Wagrain, then on the next day going as direct as possible over to the G-link and heading over to Flachau.
Not sure about restaurants in town, never eaten in the town. I've never had a bad meal on the mountain, so have no particular recommendation. I'm sure some of the many locals will be able to offer their preferences though!
Jnr had lessons with Rot-Weiss-Rot out of Wagrain and enjoyed them. They also have a school in Alpendorf.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@pendodave, Auhofalm just above the middle station by the Flying Mozart lift is fabulous for lunch, the upstairs catered room almost always has spaces even when its crowded downstairs.
In town if you fancy a really good steak, the Rauchkuchl is awesome.
The skiing in StJo/Alpendorf is really great. As @hammerite, said, you can ski all the way over to Flachau via the G Link, plenty to keep you busy

Thanks for the info. I'll report back in about a week....
Just hope the weather is sunny. Seems like enough snow already

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

First of all, there's some rubbish lurking down in the Balkans which could easily wander up north next week, so I'm not getting too exited yet....
Secondly, as I booked everything about a week ago and consulted more weather forecasts and snow data than is strictly healthy, I'm not sure that it's altogether lucky...
We'll see. It's gonna be better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, which is good enough for me.

If that's your baseline you'll be amazed! It's a great area.
