ISCHGL SKI HOLIDAYS

Ischgl offers probably the joint second best ski holiday destination in Austria, pretty much level with Serfaus, Mayrhofen, Solden and the resorts of the Alrberg and behind St Anton. This is because of the big and interesting ski area and if were not for the lack of extreme skiing, Ischgl would be pushing St Anton harder for the number one spot. The village is pedestrianised and there are numerous hotels offering excellent facilities. The après ski is sensational and the ski area has a linked ski area in Samnaun in Switzerland and neighbouring villages such as Kappl and Galtur. The skiing is high and extensive. Downsides include the mayhem on the pistes back to Ischgl and the lack of accommodation, both the result of the popularity of Ischgl.

ISCHGL SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The skiing in Ischgl is expansive and high. The ski terrain stretches far into the distance from Idalp and the area has a good snow record. The runs back to the village and the fact that almost all the skiing is above the tree-line are 2 of the negatives of the Ischgl ski area. Whilst intermediate skiing dominates there is great off-piste.

One of the highest tech lift systems there is, very few bottlenecks. Very good intermediate runs over a wide area Several long runs of around 1000m vertical and a nice day out to duty free Samnaun. Piste maintenance similar to USA

Excellent for April, with 2 ft of fresh snow over 2 days of the week. Skiing off piste is easy as you can ski virtually anything between the pistes and it is generally easy to pick routes out while on the lifts.

As it's a party town it's geared more to groups of friends than families.
