Ski resort Ischgl ski resort

Not only every skier and snowboarder in Tyrol is familiar with "Ischgl-Samnaun". Why? We'll just say: Silvretta Arena.

Description

Ischgl has just 1,600 inhabitants - and yet it is the gateway to one of the largest and most internationally renowned ski resorts in Tyrol: from the small village in Paznaun, you can take the gondola up to the "Silvretta Arena". At an altitude of 2,000 to 2,872 meters, slopes of various levels of difficulty lead all the way to the Swiss village of Samnaun. The choice of routes is huge. Steep descents with gradients of up to 70 percent await experienced skiers. Those who prefer less speed can carve through the wintry mountains on medium-difficulty slopes. All starting points can be reached via modern lifts, including the Idalp. Freestyle fans can practise their jumps in the "Ischgl Snowpark", while beginners can explore the flatter slopes on the beginners' area. A ski school and a ski kindergarten also offer their services. If you get hungry on the way, there are numerous huts and restaurants on the Austrian and Swiss side.
