St. Jakob im Defereggental (Austria)

The Austrian ski resort of St. Jakob im Defereggental is the paragon of tranquillity and tradition. No tourist hustle and bustle - only traditional houses and an authentic atmosphere. The main ideals of the village are peace, romance, hospitality and of course a wide range of typical Tyrol dishes. St. Jakob is flanked by a ski area on both sides. The Brunnalm is the most versatile area, with wider downhill runs and routes through the forest. The Staller Sattel on the other side is particularly suitable for beginners.
