Ischgl

Why it might suit you:

  • Extensive, high-altitude skiing: Ischgl’s Silvretta Arena boasts over 230 km of pistes with reliable snow, often lasting late into spring.
  • Vibrant après-ski and nightlife: Famous for its party scene, live concerts, and lively bars, appealing to those seeking more than just daytime skiing.
  • Modern lift system: Efficient gondolas and chairlifts help minimize queues, and the terrain offers a good mix of intermediate red runs plus challenging options for experts.

Potential drawbacks:

  • Higher prices: Ischgl is one of Austria’s priciest resorts, especially for dining, accommodation, and après-ski.
  • Can get crowded in peak season: Its popularity means busier slopes and nightlife venues during holiday weeks.
  • Less ideal for timid beginners: While there are beginner areas, the overall terrain can be steeper and more extensive, better suited to intermediate/advanced skiers.
