Sankt Jakob in Defereggen is a municipality in the district of Lienz in the Austrian state of Tyrol .

The ski slopes are within easy reach, so to speak they start only one km from the village. And there are 23.5 km of ski slopes in the ski center Brunnalm - St. Jakob in Defereggen! The lift facilities take you on 2,252 m asl. Beside 25 km of winter hiking paths, the area offers about 70 km of cross-country ski tracks.

Situated deep in the idyllic Defereggen Valley in East Tirol, on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the family-friendly Skizentrum St. Jakob im Defereggental is about as far from mass tourism as you can imagine. Instead of long lift queues and pumping après-ski music, all skiers and snowboarders will see and hear is the fabulous natural landscape and the sound of silence.
