Ischgl, Austria
The extensive ski resort of Ischgl is located in the Silvretta
Mountains in the Austrian Alps, very close to the Swiss border. Ischgl
boasts an extremely high altitude of between 2,000 and 2,872m,
affording access to the ski slopes for six months of the year.
The town of Ischgl rests on a small hill in a deep valley, and is
conveniently walkable from one end to the other, owing to a network of
elevators and short-cut tunnels. The ski resort has done a fine job of
retaining its small town charm and appearance, with no high-rise
buildings to interrupt the view or detract from the atmosphere.
Ischgl encompasses a vast ski area, offering over 200kms of slopes,
connected by a system of 42 lifts. The ski resort is known for the
reliability of its snow conditions and its high quality, wide-open
runs, most of which are fairly challenging and cater to intermediate
level and upwards. Ischgl is not really recommended for first-time
skiers – although nursery slopes are available and are situated far
above the town.
Ischgl’s attractions go far beyond its ski slopes. The resort’s
facilities are nothing short of amazing, including a seven-kilometre
toboggan run, a bowling alley, paragliding amenities, an indoor
swimming pool, historical monuments, zoological gardens and a national
park. The ski school is efficient, offering first-rate tuition from
English-speaking instructors. A ski kindergarten is also available.
Owing to its lofty altitude, Ischgl’s ski season runs for almost six
months of the year, from late November to early May. Conditions are
optimal from February through to the end of March, and special rates
are offered before Christmas, for a period after New Year, and during
the last month of the season. The easiest way to access the resort is
via plane to Innsbruck (100kms away), from where you can take a train
to Landeck and then a bus to Ischgl.
