Ischgl
Wild apres-ski, a large ski area with the option go duty free into Switzerland!
Overview
Ischgl, set in the beautiful Paznau Valley, offers some of the best skiing that Austria has. It also provides a link into Switzerland at Samnaun for tax free shopping. It is a lovely Tyrolean village that has high altitude and good snow, an excellent lift system and great higher intermediate skiing and boarding. There are 200km of runs, with a bus link to Galtur for a further 65km.
New lifts have markedly reduced lift queues to the slopes, while the village has a largely traffic-free centre. It is an attractive place centre, with a good selection of accommodation, hotels and some lively après-ski, and if you're here are the end of the season there's always a big name headlining the closing party! There is a reasonable range of non-skiing opportunities including shopping.
Overall, Ischgl is one of the best of the Austrian resorts, particularly for better intermediates and boarders. A superb choice if you want to sample an Austrian ski holiday at its finest.
