Sankt Johann im Pongau
St Johann im Pongau is a small town and the main hub of the Pongau region in Salzburg province. It sits in the Salzach valley, on the main railway and motorway lines, with ski areas, gorges and hills close by.
The town is more of a service centre than a resort, but it has real appeal: a landmark church, one of Austria's best-known gorges on its doorstep and easy links to Ski amadé and the Hochkönig.
