Ischgl Ski Holidays

“High-altitude skiing, exceptional snow conditions and legendary après-ski”

Home to the world-renowned Silvretta Arena, Ischgl is one of Austria's premier ski resorts, offering 239 kilometres of impeccably groomed pistes served by 45 state-of-the-art lifts. With around 90% of the ski area sitting above 2,000 metres, the resort enjoys one of the most reliable snow records in the Alps, making it an excellent choice throughout the winter season.

Linked with the Swiss resort of Samnaun, the Silvretta Arena combines extensive skiing with breathtaking Alpine scenery, modern lift infrastructure and terrain to suit confident intermediates, advanced skiers and freeriders alike. Off the slopes, Ischgl is renowned for its stylish 4*Superior and 5* hotels, award-winning restaurants and après-ski that ranks among the very best in the Alps.

From spectacular season-opening and closing concerts featuring international artists to luxury wellness facilities and gourmet dining, Ischgl offers a premium ski holiday experience both on and off the mountain.

On the Mountain 

Three high-speed gondolas provide rapid access from the village to Idalp, the heart of the ski area, where you'll find beginner slopes, excellent ski schools and Ischgl's snow park.

From Idalp, a superb network of modern lifts fans out accessing the entire Silvretta Arena, allowing you to explore wide cruising pistes, challenging descents and spectacular panoramic viewpoints. Make time to ski the famous "Duty Free Run", a long descent through wild scenery into the Swiss village of Samnaun, where you can enjoy tax-free shopping before skiing back into Austria.

More advanced skiers and expert skiers can head towards the Palinkopf and Piz Val Gronda sectors, where steeper red and black pistes, challenging ski routes and outstanding freeride terrain await. Guided ski touring is also popular for those looking to explore beyond the marked pistes.

The mountain restaurants are every bit as impressive as the skiing, with everything from relaxed self-service cafés to stylish table-service restaurants serving traditional Tyrolean specialities and international cuisine.

Off the Mountain 

Ischgl has earned a reputation for some of the very best après-ski in the Alps. The celebrations begin on the mountain at the thumping ‘Paznauner Taja’ (you still need to ski down!) before continuing into the village, where iconic venues such as Kuhstall and Trofana Alm keep the party atmosphere going well into the evening.

However, Ischgl offers far more than just nightlife. The resort is home to award-winning restaurants, quieter café-bars, upmarket designer shops, elegant cocktail bars and a year-round calendar of music and gourmet events, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that appeals to couples, groups and discerning skiers alike.

Other attractions include the impressive Silvretta Thermal Spa with indoor and outdoor pools, sauna area, gym and ice-rink. There is also a 7-kilometre floodlit toboggan run, bowling, sleigh rides and winter walks.
