Ischgl
Ski holidays in Ischgl are getting more and more popular with British skiers. Traditionally, about 80% of British skiers book their skiing holidays in France but, as people have begun to look further afield, Austria has gained a significant chunk of the market, and Ischgl is one of the biggest attractions for Brits.
It’s one of the most snow secure ski resorts in the Austria Alps and boasts the longest winter season of any Austrian ski resorts, opening in late November and closing in early May.
Ischgl is very well known for its lively après ski and nightlife and the resort is very proud of this fact! It’s a perfect resort if you are looking for skiing holidays where you are can ski all day and party all night. Ischgl has many night clubs where world-famous DJs play on a regular basis. The feel of the resort is beautifully summed up by the resort slogan 'Relax… If you can!' With 238km of skiing (just covered on the Ischgl lift pass) and an extra 110km of piste in the Silvretta Arena which includes Galtur, a trip to Ischgl gives you access to just under 350km of skiing to be explored, as well as a vast number of après ski venues and late-night bars and clubs.
As well as all of the skiing and the partying you can also do a bit of bargain shopping whilst on your skiing holidays in Ischgl. This is due to the fact that you can ski across the Swiss border to the Swiss ski resort (and tax haven) of Samnaun, with the run there being aptly named 'Duty-Free'. Even non-skiers in your party can get over to Samnaun as they can purchase a 'Smugglers' lift ticket which will get them all the way from Ischgl to Samnaun and back by hopping from lift to lift as a pedestrian.
If you want a resort with a vast amount of skiing, a good snow record, amazing Ischgl ski deals,great après ski and brilliant nightlife, Ischgl has got your name written all over it!
