Ischgl Ski Holidays

“Huge modern ski area, excellent snow record and bustling après-ski scene”

With 45 state-of-the-art ski lifts and 239 km of perfectly groomed pistes, a ski holiday to Ischgl promises world-class skiing in one of Austria’s finest resorts. Thanks to 90% of its slopes sitting above 2,000 metres, Ischgl enjoys a long, snow-sure winter season.

The Silvretta Arena links Ischgl to Switzerland’s Samnaun, creating an extensive ski area perfect for confident intermediates and freeriders seeking adventure. Off the slopes, the resort impresses with stylish 4* Superior and 5* hotels, a compact pedestrian-friendly centre, and après-ski that ranks among the best in the Alps.

From its legendary season-opening and closing concerts to gourmet dining and vibrant nightlife, an Ischgl ski holiday delivers an unforgettable skiing experience on and off the slopes.

On the Mountain 

Three high-speed Gondolas funnel the morning crowds up to Idalp which is where the beginner areas and Ischgl’s snowpark are located. From Idalp, lifts and pistes fan out in all directions and there are two long ‘Duty Free Runs’ which wind their way down through wild scenery to Samnaun, Switzerland.

Advanced and expert skiers should aim for the Palinkopf sector which offers challenging reds, blacks and some long itinerary routes under the new Piz Val Gronda lift. There are also some fantastic ski touring options too – hire a local guide.

Large restaurants offer a wide choice of on-slope dining with self-service and table service options.

Off the Mountain 

Ischgl has some of the best après-ski in the Alps and you’ll hear the music thumping out of the slope-side ‘Paznauner Thaya’ long before you see the party crowd. In town, the legendary Kuhstall, Schatzi Bar and Trofana Alm pack out post skiing and there are also quieter cafes and bars in which to unwind at the end of the day.

Ischgl is about more than just the skiing plus après though and there are award-winning Restaurants, plenty of upmarket shops, lounge bars and clubs. Keep an eye out for regular music and gourmet events too.

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