Ischgl

Ischgl is a vibrant and pulsating town. A large but traditional Tyrolean village below one of Austria's greatest and highest ski areas, crossing the border to be linked with Samnaun. Stars like Tina Turner, Elton John and Jon Bon Jovi drew a crowd of over 20.000 thus contributing in making Ischgl an unparalleled holiday destination for young and old.

Ischgl has an enticing selection of restaurants and diners for every taste and pocketbook. Every year the town invests in new local attractions to offer the highest standard in year round recreation possible. Ischgl is a charming and fascinating Tirolean town offering a whole host of activities for the sports minded and those who enjoy life at an altogether more leisurely pace.

In Ischgl ski runs are cared for like "our" daughters. As soon as après-ski starts, the teams ascend the slopes and begin to groom them with hands and snow-cats. In order to prepare them for another glorious ski day the slopes are groomed, combed and nourished. Snow is a treasure that needs to be protected and kept all winter for our skiers and guests – especially the late spring corn snow, which ski connoisseurs love and enjoy in March and April. Of course, the most important requirement is the snow itself, which our village luckily has galore.

Thanks to its central location at a main watershed, the area benefits from two meteorological flows, which produce a lot of rich powder snow in winter and excellent corn snow in spring. But the most distinguishing feature of Ischgl is the unusual length of the winter season. In other winter sports resorts the season lasts from December to March, whereas in Ischgl the season does not end before early May. The ideal climatic conditions and geographic features in combination with well-groomed ski slopes have made Ischgl the perfect place to enjoy sun skiing in spring.
