The attractive village centre is largely pedestrianised and offers a wide choice of shops and cafés.

Twin Centre Suggestion
Why not try a Twin Centre combining 7 days in St. Johann at the family run Hotel Park with 7 days exploring the high alpine trails in the breathtaking resort of St. Anton, home to some of the finest hotels in Austria? A great choice would be the lovely Hotel Arlberg, with its great cuisine and facilities.
