Best Ski Resort for Snowboarders in Austria: Ischgl - Snowboarders Rating
Ischgl is a paradise for snowboarders of all levels. Our reviewers mention that the terrain park is one of the best in Europe, with a cool pillow jump where you can practice tricks before hitting actual jumps. The wide, well-maintained pistes are particularly appealing to boarders, with one user noting "almost no moguls all day." Advanced riders will love the off-piste variety, while the modern lift system (featuring heated seats on some chairlifts) keeps queue times minimal. The resort offers fantastic cross-border riding into Switzerland's Alp Trida area, with plenty of blues and reds for intermediates looking to progress their skills.
#2 Achensee - Pertisau - Snowboarders Rating
Achensee - Pertisau gets top marks from snowboarders in the Snomad community. One user who is an advanced snowboarder said the resort offers "awesome terrain" with "great views" and affordable beer. The majority of users think it's brilliant for riders of all abilities. Another intermediate snowboarder, Dana, loved the "different great slopes for all levels" and mentioned the lively parties. What's brilliant is how boarder-friendly the area is - Amethyst pointed out there were "plenty of options for skiers and boarders to be together". With well-maintained slopes and efficient lifts, it's a solid choice for your next boarding trip.
#3 Sölden - Snowboarders Rating
Sölden is a snowboarder's paradise according to our users. The wide, well-maintained slopes and excellent lift infrastructure get constant praise from riders of all levels. One Snomad community member liked "boarding on the glacier" while another highlighted the "20km snowboard killer through the valley" from the highest peak. Boarders particularly enjoy the terrain parks and off-piste options. The apres-ski scene is buzzing too - as one advanced snowboarder put it, "people of all countries come together here." With the James Bond museum adding a unique touch and plenty of terrain to explore, it's no wonder so many boarders return year after year.
