What Skiers Say About Ischgl

Ischgl attracts predominantly intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders who consistently praise the extensive, well-groomed piste network and modern, efficient lift system with heated seats. The après-ski scene is frequently described as among the best in Austria, with lively bars both on-mountain and in the village, though this party atmosphere may not suit all visitors. Snow quality and grooming receive high marks, with many noting the resort's high altitude ensures good conditions into spring. Common complaints centre on the busy, steep, and mogulled home runs back to the village in the afternoon, high prices for accommodation and on-mountain dining, and limited terrain suitable for beginners.

First time.at this resort after numerous times at Mayerhofern. The runs are more challenging and difficult when no new snow. The resort itself is decent and easy to get around and good facilities all round

Great place, would say is best for intermediate or advanced skiers/snowboarders. Absolutely amazing apres ski has atleast 5 places to choose from. The mountain was perfect height apart from being a tad chilly. Overall was very happy and would definitely come back to Ischgl.

Great resort for intermediate - advanced skiers & snowboarders.

Lift queues are very small / efficient and some chairlifts even have heated racing style seats.

Best areas are from C2 lift - D1 / D2 ski area.

Plenty of long blue & red runs and some quite steep black runs for those that are more skilled.

Multiple ski areas available - the resort borders Switzerland, so can drop into Alp Trida, which again has some excellent blues & reds.

Aprés - excellent - schazi bar, trofana alm, kitzloch, hexenküche all provide a good time.

Only downside is the food and drinks at most of the restaurants & bars (e.g. pardorama and idalp restaurant) are very expensive arguably overpriced.

Visited Ischgl in 2018 for 1 day of skiing. It was my favourite resort after Solden on a weeks long trip around Austria. There were plenty of green / blues to keep a beginner well entertained. Gondolas were practically brand new, and whilst visiting in the last week of March during gay week there were little to no queues. All in all, a great days skiing!! I would not hesitate to go back.

Great resort. We were a mixed ability group and all found runs we were happy with. There are some great apres spots and a good range of restaurants.

Snow was plentiful and on the one day there was so much snow they had to close the resort for a half day we tried out the swimming centre where I highly recommend the outside swim up cocktail bar!

A very nice high resort that gets busy when other lower resorts have less snow. Main base is at altitude and the only snag is the route down into the village which is steep in parts, gnarly and extremely busy!! Fantastic apres. Nice people.

One of my favourite all-rounder resorts that Ive visited with both friends and family. Ischgl accesses an extensive ski area with very efficient lifts, and also has a great mix of apres-ski and food options in town. It ticks all the boxes for a fun ski trip.

Ischgl is a very large resort with something for everyone anytime. It has a variety of ski parks, fun runs with rolling hills, easy and not at all easy runs. The easy and the intermediate are well marked. The blacks are the rest of the mountain and are not marked. You simply get off the trail and have a load of fun skiing in powder. It's v cold first thing in the morning but warms up after lunch most days. Apres Ski is excellent!

Ischgl is a great resort for skiing and for fun. We have been there a few times and it is one of the best resorts for apres ski. Compared to St Anton where it is more of a young crowd, this resort seems to accommodate all ages. It is more expensive than other resorts in Austria, but it is worth it.

Ischgl is a great holiday for everyone young and old alike. The ski ing is fab right into Switzerland and the conditions are super, great eateries and the apres ski is jumping if you want it. If you prefer quiet theres the quieter bars off strip. Good lifts and the queues go down quickly. Hotels are fab, everyone so friendly. Do it! You wont be disappointed

Visited in January.
Lft infrastructure is superb - fast, high capacity, and well maintained. Our longest queue was under a minute.
Great (but busy) central area (Idalp) at the top of the gondolas. But there are plenty of options to go further afield and escape the crowds, with stunning scenery and beautifully groomed runs - many of them almost deserted. We particularly liked the runs into Alp Trida and Salaas. Be careful where you have lunch though - that 13 euro bowl of pasta in Austria costs 35 in Switzerland.
Nightlife caters to jumping apres, burger joints, or some nice restaurant dining experiences, so take your pick. There are supermarkets in town for self caterers too.

Ischgl is a great resort offering epic skiing for all abilities. The lift system is the best Ive come across and the apres is top notch. Just keep in mind that the home run down to the resort gets very busy between 3pm and 5pm.

It was my first favourite ski resort. Ive been there no less than 10 times and it never gets boring. Large variety of slopes and beautiful views. Major addition to the experience is that you are able to get to the Swiss side and also ski there. It can even be accessible for tourists that dont ski, as there is a very convenient system of lifts. One more thing that stands out is the amount of nice restaurants with really delicious food. 10/10
