Ischgl Ski Resort Austria

Ischgl ski resort in the Tyrol ski area is one of the most impressive in Austria with a great reputation for its après ski scene and superb skiing. Many natives would rate it as one of the best ski resorts, with a long season and a reliable natural snow record.

The village itself is long and narrow and comprises a mixture of original and faux-Tyrolean buildings. The main street is effectively traffic-free and there’s an underground walkway from the centre of town to the Fimba gondola. There is absolutely no shortage of bars, restaurants and shops lining the pavements.

Thanks to its efforts to offset carbon emissions, the implementation of a reforestation programme in the local valley and powering its ski lifts with almost 100% renewable energy, Ischgl ski resort has been recognised as the largest climate-neutral ski area in the Alps.
