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.

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

I absolutely loved Ischgl!! Had a great 4 days skiing there and exploring the town. The runs were well groomed and not overly crowded even though it was just before Christmas. Plenty of gondolas and lifts- 46 in all (35 were running based on snow conditions) taking you to great views and even have a run that takes you over to Switzerland to do some duty-free shopping! It was my first time there and I cant wait to go back-looking forward to many more skiing trips!!

Went to Ischgl in early April 2024, with a friends family. All competent skiers and really enjoyed making the most of the whole resort, skiing down into Switzerland and across all of the Austrian area. It was warm so the tree runs lower down werent perfect, but that was to be expected. We got good snow and the off piste held up really nicely higher up. Theres so much skiable off piste that even 2/3 days after a big dump there were still plenty of fresh tracks to be made even under some of the main lifts! Apres was top tier, both on the mountain and down at the bottom. Often headed straight into the town as the conveyer belts under the mountain get you everywhere super easily after youve skied back home.

Ischgl is the best resort there is. The lifts are modern and efficient and the slopes plus the off piste are epic. It is not really for beginners but an excellent goal to aim for! The only areas I would avoid are the runs into town towards the end of the day because it gets moguled up but you can get the gondola down instead and have one more run at the top!

Unreal area for skiing and snowboarding, so much care given to the piste and unreal night life. The start and end of season concerts are so well planned and a great event. Skiing into samnaun is easy and lovely big wide open runs. Plenty to keep even the most experienced skiers and boarders happy and excited for the next day. Beginners are well looked after with some lovely starter slopes at a decent altitude to ensure a good snow to learn all. All round fantastic resort

I absolutely love the resort. The skiing is good for all abilitys from expert to beginner. The bars and apres ski are also brilliant and all together make an amazing holiday. The Swiss border and bronze, silver and gold run styles also makes the resort challenging and fun for all

One of my favourite resorts! Really good snow even late in the season- we had plenty of powder and some bluebird days. Resort location is great, can get around the whole ski-able area in a day without repeat runs. Good amount of challenging pistes for advanced skiers and really good off piste and tree runs. We also rarely found over crowded pistes, especially towards the Swiss side. Nightlife was absolutely fantastic, great apres at the Paznauer Taja on the mountain and the Kuhstahl in the town. Perfect for anyone who loves to ski and loves to party!

I did my ski season here spending 3 months out there. Its an advanced skiers paradise with almost 300km of pieste, supplemented by 3 small resorts in the same valley and the underated Galtur.

The apres scene is fantastic, you could party all day and night if you wanted. The resort is constantly upgrading its lift infrastructure too so it really cant be beaten. The queues are only really an issue during commuting hours and even then its usually only a problem at half term. Be sure to ski red 7 while youre there!

Expensive but worth every penny. Full of Austrians and still local. One of the best parks in Europe, and an apres ski to match.

Ischgl offers high quality hotels, great apres and an efficient lift system. The ski area itself is relatively compact but does provide access to some great off piste and itinerary runs. The main ski area is accessed via any 1 of 3 model lifts, with the option to transfer back down if you dont fancy the home runs that can become busy and gnarly at the end of the day. Like many Austrian resorts, pistes and lifts are numbered which maybe helps if youre not a local. An added benefit is the option to ski into Switzerland and maybe enjoy the duty free shops of Samnaun. One of my favourite Austrian resorts.
