Flachau is a village in the district of St. Johann im Pongau in the Austrian state of Salzburg, with a population of 2,802 (2016 data). Its numerous skiing facilities are part of the Ski Amadé network of ski areas, one of the largest in Europe.
Up into the 19th century, Flachau was a center of iron smelting in the Pongau district. Remains of the works have since been demolished, and only street and house names remain as reminders.
Flachau is home to a parish church consecrated on September 8, 1722, which was built upon the request of the miners and smelters of the village. The altars of the church are painted by Johann Michael Rottmayr.[1]
Flachau hosts the annual Audi FIS Alpine Ski World cup woman's race in winter.[2]
Since 2012, Flachau hosts the minus20degree art and architecture biennale occurring in winter.[3]
