The ski bus is probably the easiest way to get from St. Johann to Fieberbrunn. There is one leaving St. Johann station at 08:55 which arrives at the Fieberbrunn lifts at 09:14.
Zell am See is a good deal further away and I think the train would be the easiest way to travel if you wanted to go there. You can search for details on the ÖBB website at http://oebb.at. Kaprun/Kitzsteinhorn is even further off.

yip can confirm that the bus is really easy. leaves from the train station and states fieberbrunn on the front and will end its route at the lifts so not much need to pay attention.
double check your pass though as i know fieberbrunn dropped off the schneewinkel pass this year.

That's a shame, any reason given as to why it's no longer included?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I think it was a marketing thing. Fieberbrunn has put all its eggs/cash in the Saalbach Ski Circus basket. Does seem a pity, though, for there are probably plenty of skiers who would be happy with the smaller area.
You need the Kitzbüheler Alpen Allstar Card or the Salzburg Super Ski Card to cover Fieberbrunn and St. Johann.

Yep. Anybody bar a beginner taking lessons all week is probably better off with that pass.
You get free transport included to Fieberbrun (ski bus) from where you can no get into Saalbach-Hinterglemm, and to Kitzbuhel (train) and to the SKiWelt (Brixen or Westendorf) also by train. The latter isn't well known - I only found out about it when talking to a Kitzbuhel instructor on a chairlift.

@kabby, I had a great week in St Johann last year, along with the Kitzbuher Allstar pass.
Fieberbrunn and Steinplatz were the perfect size for a day's skiing and both only about 30-45 minutes away by free bus.
We also went to Zell by train and it took just over an hour but it was a spectacular journey. The train station in Zell is walkable to the nearest lift (about 5-10 minutes), so the whole thing worked pretty well. Obviously Kitzbuhel is the easiest area to connect to, as the train station is next to the ski lift and is free for skiers. All in all we skied 5 different resorts in the week but as @alex_heney, states, you can cram more in if you stay on the train the Brixen/ Westendorf. or get the Postbus to Ellmau for the other end of the Skiwelt (our plan had been to get the train to Westendorf and then ski back to Ellmau, catching the bus home but unfortunately the weather ruined our last day)!
Enjoy
