The rooms were small but reasonable enough, and had partial views of the mountains.
Located beside a shopping center, convenient to restaurants and grocery stores, in just about the heart of the city.
Breakfast was above average for Austria, and the Pongau Stube restaurant served seasonal fresh asparagus.

First of all, I am very thankful that I chose Hotel Lerch for your ski holiday. The position of the hotel is no doubt great. It takes just a few minutes to get to Skibus Station. The journey to Alpendorf takes up to ten minutes.
The meal was incredible. I have no complaints about service.

We are from Colorado so it was similar to Breckenridge or other small mountain towns. There are plenty of hills in town so it was a great "walking exercise experience." There are plenty of grocery stores and cheaper than the US. The situation of the town is beautiful!

Great location for those who want to travel in the province of Salzburg. We went for a walk on Ghost Mountain (the cable car a few hundred meters from the hotel). We took a trip to the Lichtenstein Gorge - this place is a MUST! Its five-minute drive - during busy times in the summer, it's convenient because you can start the day there when it's not too busy and hot yet. The trip to other attractions and sites is also short and the hotel itself is very close to the highway for those who want to reach sites such as the salt mines in Hallein, Hohenwerfen Castle, Salzburg and more. The town of St. Johann im Pongau has many shops and the area has some good restaurants with local food.

The city has all what a tourist needs.
The city has all what a tourist needs. One may say typical Apline city, but has it's nice unique spots - for me: the old bridge neighbourhood (I'd say the old town). As it is located on a slope for me it's more pictureous than others located just in a valley.

Sank Johann was a very pretty town with a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. We were there for the Skiing so did not spend a lot of time in the town, or at some of the attractions. However I have been coming to Sank Johann in the winter since 2009 and have never been disappointed.
I have never visited in the summer but I can only assume that it will be also be an excellent base from which to explore the area.
Bus service is excellent and Salzburg is only 1hr 15 away. €11 by train and does not require you to change trains.

The mountains around St Johann im Pongau are wonderful, the town its self has changed a lot. It used to be the main place to stay for winter sports in the area, but this has slowly been superseded by Alpendorf where there are a number of modern hotels and apartments (often moderately expensive).
This has caused a lot of the change which includes many of the great bars and restaurants closing and being replaced by some modern residential buildings (most recently the Silbergasse which we all loved).
Of course, if you stay on the edge of town, or a little up the hill (as we did this time), then there are beautiful places to stay. The remaining Hotels like Alpenland, The Brückenwirt and the Lerch and others can also be highly reccomended. Recently, the local Hahnbaum chair lift (where we started skiing in the early 80s) was removed and not replaced. That used to be a great place to ski with the locals on a Sunday after a later night out at ski lovers bar (also long gone). A beginner's area with a T-Lift and Banana lift still exist on the Hahnbaum, but in general you will ski out of Alpendorf (5 minutes drive up the hill), or you just have a short drive to many of the other "Salzburger Skiwelt" areas such as Großarl and Hoch König to mention just 2 out of many.
The town has expanded somewhat over the years, on the plus side this gives plenty of scope for food shopping if you are staying in an apartment. It is a town that many (like us) still love as we have been visiting for so many years, and it is always great to see familiar faces when on a winter holiday. The local people have always been extremely welcoming and very friendly.
Some prefer Wagrain, which has retained its quaint mountain village / town atmosphere and not as crowded as Flachau. Close by is Kleinarl which is a perfect Family resort.
For us, St Johann was and still is the center of the Salzburger Ski Welt, and we will hopefully be regulars for many years to come.

Karin's house is a perfect place to stay in Alpendorf, enjoy the mountains and, of course, visit Liechtensteinsklamm (which is only 30 mins away) :) The location couldn't be better: lovely view from the balcony, the cable car and a large playground for kids only in a couple of minutes. The house owner is super friendly and always ready to help.
Thank you so much, Karin! ❤️
It's been an amazing short-term vacation. We'll definitely come back to visit this wonderful place 🙂
The Alpenschlossl is an exceptional hotel, the quality is evident. The hotel owners and staff are so kind and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is exceptional and coupled with great facilities and super close proximity to the Alpendorf lift station, it genuinely deserves full marks.
I've been skiing in Austria for many years but I have every intention of returning to the Alpenschlossl.
The hotel is near the train station, which was convenient as we arrived late. The room was clean and modern with a very nice bathroom, the breakfast was good as well, cold cuts, tea, coffee, juices, bread and buns, cereals, eggs made to order. We did not have time to enjoy the wellness area but bathrobes were provided in the room. A cute dog welcomed us at the reception, a nice bonus to our stay!
Perfect hotel, everything was great, on the day of check in we arrived late and they was about to close the buffet, so they called us to check when we arriving to save us food. For all days of stay the personal was great. There is kids room in the basement and it was great. The rooms are very clean and cool. The dinner time is from 18:00 to 20:00. The breakfast is from 6:30 - 10:00.
Very modern and nice hotel, room was big and clean. Convenient lights and sockets everywhere. The owner and her dog are very kind and friendly. Breakfast was good, and coffee is superb! Although my room was facing main road, there was good soundproofing and I did not hear anything. It is conveniently close to the railway station. Good value for money.
Very nice apartment, big, comfty, modern stylish looking. Everything was clean, and it had everything what we needed. The host is very kind. Great view from the balcony to the valley! The small skitown Alpendorf is like a little gem on the mountain, beautiful little hotels and apartments everywhere, like in in the movies.
Panorama Alpendorf is absolutely perfect. Well plannedout, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Super comfortable beds, amazing view of the Alps. But the Wirth family are the top attraction. Kind hosts, super helpful and genuinely good people. Will definitely look to plan another trip!
I highly recommend Pension Appartements Reithof. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are very good,
Pension Appartements Reithof is located just next to the skibus stop. The bus takes you to the Alpendorf gondola in 2 minutes.
Excellent house with very helpful and friendly hosts. There is a possibility of bread delivery in the morning. Close to the road. Must be a dream accommodation for a skiing holiday ( on the slop, boots dryer, washing machine). Garage. Storage room. Board games.
The hotel is located in the most beautiful location, top of the mountain overlooking one of the most breathtaking views! The staff was beyond incredible, caring, present and always helpful! Restaurant on site, and outdoor seating and hikes right outside!
Beautiful hotel, in a beautiful area. Large, sun filled room, with a nice outlook. On-site restaurant was lovely and well priced. Staff were fantastic, very helpful and welcoming. Very comfortable bed. Close to the river for a nice walk or run
The hotel was very impressive - in size and also facilities. The meals were very good with a lot of choice. The bus stop for the ski bus was across the road - all very convenient. Also, the hotel was within walking distance of the train station.
A perfect location with a great view. The apartment is modern and well equipped with a cosy traditional feel to it, and the hosts are really friendly. We booked this place for a skiing trip, and it was everything we hoped for and more.
Very nice staff.
Walking distance to the (free) ski bus to the Alpendorf lift.
Nice pool area.
Flexible about the number of nights stayed - we were able to book a stay shorter than the normal alpine 7-day stay.
Lovely, quiet hotel with excellent meals included. Good for families. Hourly bus to the skiing at Alpendorf. Added bonus of a lovely brown labrador that was keeping an eye on everything.
