Ischgl Ski Resort Austria

Ischgl is one of the most impressive resorts in Austria with a great reputation for its après-ski scene. Many natives would rate it as one of the best 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.

Skiing in Ischgl

Ischgl’s ski domain runs from 1,380m up to 2,900m, making it fairly sure of natural snow throughout its relatively long season. In addition, there is a very good snow-making system covering the majority of the slopes. The terrain is overall ideally suited to high-speed advanced and intermediate cruising and the lift system, which is being continuously improved, incorporates 12 high-speed chairlifts and three gondolas that move skiers and boarders rapidly around the mountainside and minimise queues.

Restaurants in Ischgl

There are several big on-mountain restaurants. One of the most charming is the Bodenalpe in the Fimbatal, a pretty little chalet-style hotel serving good food. The Paznauner-Taja has a fun ice bar and often features live music on its terrace. Off the slopes, many of the restaurants are within hotels; the Paznauner-Stube is renowned for having superb food and there are many traditional restaurants and cafes, too, many of which will serve the classics: pizza, pasta, meats and vegetarian options.

Après Ski in Ischgl

Many visitors appear to come here more for the après-ski scene with the fun starting mid-afternoon at the foot of the slopes, where hotels such as the Elisabeth have lively ice-bars and the Kitzloch offer dancing and singing. Later at night, the action moves to the Pacha, now arguably the most cutting-edge nightclub in the whole of the Alps.
