North of Kitzbühel lies St Johann in Tirol (660m/2,165ft; pop. 6,000), a popular summer and winter sports resort, with picturesque old peasant houses, and an important road junction. The parish church of Maria Himmelfahrt (1723-28) has fine stucco work and a ceiling painting by S. B. Faistenberger; in St Anthony's Chapel can be seen a fresco in
the dome by Josef Schöpf (1803). The Spitalkirche in der Weitau has a Roccoco interior of 1740 and a fine 15th C. stained glass window. St Johann has a large leisure complex with swimming pool and sports facilities; cableways ascend the Kitzbüheler Horn to the south.
