Beautiful, Ischgl is a Winter Wonderland of skiing, snowboarding, music, dancing, sightseeing and more!
Ischgl ski resort in the Silvretta mountains of western Tyrol is one of Austria's most popular snow holiday destinations.
The resort has a deserved reputation for excellent skiing & snowboarding plus a serious party scene.
Situated on the frontier with Switzerland, Ischgl is interlinked with Samnaun ski resort to create a huge & diverse ski area of over 239km of trails & 45 ski lifts.

- St Anton Day Trip: (for skiers & non-skiers) Includes a scenic ride up to the top of Valluga Mountain on the Galzigbahn and Vallugabahn Gondolas, an extra lift ticket will be required if you want to ski. For more information check out the St Anton website. https://www.stantonamarlberg.com/en/home
- Bregenz & Lindau on Constance Lake Day Trip: Includes a guided tour of Bregenz and a once in a lifetime ride on Pfander gondola
- Day trip to Innsbruck, the Capital of the Alps & Swarovski Crystal World. Includes a guided tour of Old Town Innsbruck
Ischgl will delight Powder hounds of all abilities with the range, size & quality of the snow, lifts & terrain and will not disappoint with its penchant for fun! Ischgl is renowned for its fun après sessions in the mountain huts & the village. Be prepared for music, drink & dancing from lunchtime & well into the night.
Access to the pistes is via three large gondolas. The ones at either end of the resort, the Silvrettabahn and the Skyfly, climb up to the main mid-mountain hub of Idalp at 2,320m, while a third goes up to Pardatschgrat at 2,624m. Intermediates have six valleys to explore and the option to ski over the border to Samnaun in Switzerland. The runs include long wide open cruisers of up to 7km in length. There are high alpine bowls and fun runs down through the trees. If you love long descents, Slopes 4 and 5 down from Pardatschgrat are local favorites and the snow stays good deep into the afternoon.
Experts have several black runs and some excellent off-piste options, and the Silvretta Ski Pass also includes neighboring (but not lift-linked) Galtür, Kappl and See. The lift system for the entire area is fast, modern, and up there with the best in Europe. Ischgl has one of Austria's largest freeride areas, with bowls, steep descents and cliff drops providing plenty for powder hounds to get their teeth stuck into. It's also one of the best areas for powder puppies to take their first runs into the soft stuff -the inter-piste snow stays untracked longer than in many resorts and offers everything from gentle introductions to more extreme gullies and drops. One of the best spots to head for is the Piz Val Gronda lift - which has opened up a freeride playground previously accessible only via a long, steep hike. As always, get a guide - not only will they keep you safe, they'll introduce you to all sorts of spots that the piste map can't.
