St. Johann in Tirol

St. Johann in Tirol extends across the Leukental Valley at 659 meters altitude, surrounded by the Kaisergebirge Mountains and Kitzbüheler Horn.

Celtic tribes established copper mines in the region during the 4th century BC, followed by silver extraction operations that continued until the 18th century.

The Huber Bräu brewery, operating for over 300 years, maintains a 30-meter tower that functions as a central reference point in the municipality.

The municipality offers 4,500 guest beds, 40 kilometers of ski slopes, and 200 kilometers of cross-country trails for winter sports enthusiasts.

Local residents, known as Sainihåns, pronounce the town name with emphasis on the second syllable, reflecting their distinct regional identity.
