Why Ischgl is Highly Rated for Snowboarders

Ischgl has earned its gold award for Best Ski Resorts for Snowboarders - Europe 2025 with an impressive 4.86/5.00 rating, by delivering an exceptional terrain mix that caters specifically to riders. According to Mike, an advanced snowboarder, the resort features "VERY nice groomed runs" with "almost no moguls all day" – a dream scenario for boarders who typically struggle with bumpy sections. When moguls accumulate, advanced snowboarder Emma suggests avoiding "the runs into town towards the end of the day... but you can get the gondola down instead and have one more run at the top!" The snowboard-friendly terrain is further enhanced by what Christy calls "big wide open runs" when skiing into Samnaun, providing the perfect canvas for carving. Brad, an intermediate snowboarder, points to the C2 lift and D1/D2 ski areas as particularly excellent for riders, with "plenty of long blue & red runs and some quite steep black runs" for more skilled boarders.

The resort's commitment to freestyle culture shines through its park facilities, with Leo (an expert snowboarder) declaring Ischgl home to "one of the best parks in Europe." Tony, another expert snowboarder, simply calls it "one of the best resorts in the world." Our reviewers mention that the boarder culture extends beyond the slopes into the vibrant après scene, which Leo confirms "matches" the quality of the park. Paul, an intermediate snowboarder, praised his "fantastic snowboarding week" in April 2024, noting there was "still plenty of snow" even late in the season. The resort's snowboard-friendly credentials are completed by what Jack calls "facilities second to none both in the village and on the mountain," giving snowboarders (and all skiers alike) a fantastic all-around mountain experience.

Reward yourself with some legendary Austrian après after hitting the kickers, which you can read all about in our full resort guide of Ischgl.

Community Review

Ischgl, Europe
"Ischgl- fantastic variety of terrain. Snow sure throughout the season. Great lift system, modern and fast so quick queues even at busy times. Mountain restaurants and cafes more for fast catering than leisurely stops."

About the Snomad Ski Resort Awards

The Snomad Ski Resort Awards are the most authentic and unbiased recognition in the ski industry, based entirely on genuine guest experiences from real skiers and snowboarders.

Unlike other awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, ours are determined by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts firsthand.

This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts, providing you with trustworthy recommendations for your next mountain adventure.
