Why Ischgl is Highly Rated

There are many reasons why Ischgl has secured the bronze award in the Best Overall Ski Resorts - Europe 2025 category with an impressive 4.64/5.00 rating. The resort delivers exceptional well-rounded excellence across all aspects, starting with its remarkable terrain variety that caters to every ability level. According to Eric, an expert skier from Canada who's travelled twice specifically to ski here: "We love the ski terrain and variety. We will often ski on perfectly groomed runs in the morning and then spend the afternoon in easily accessible off-piste powder runs." This sentiment is echoed by numerous users, with Pete noting the resort "has something for everybody" from "cruising the groomers" to "hunting down off-piste freshies." The facilities are world-class, particularly the lift system which many consider the best in Europe – Jakub points out the "40+ state of the art lifts make it possibly the resort with the greatest lift infrastructure," while Joss praises the "great lift system, modern and fast with quick queues even at busy times."

The snow quality remains consistently excellent throughout the season, with Max highlighting that even in late season there was "great range of piste and off piste runs, well signposted, with avalanche risk published." Service standards are exceptional across the resort, from accommodation to ski schools. One Snomad community member liked that "the people are happy, friendly, pleasant and always happy to help," while Olivia, an advanced skier, had "such a great experience with the ski school there which really gave me the extra confidence I needed to tackle my first black runs." While it's not the cheapest destination, it delivers remarkable value as Steve, an advanced skier, succinctly puts it: "Not a cheap resort but full of class both on and off the slopes." The combination of exceptional snow conditions, diverse terrain, modern facilities and warm Austrian hospitality has firmly established Ischgl as one of Europe's premier skiing destinations.
