Ischgl, Austria

Ischgl has gained a reputation as being one of Austria’s best resorts - and it's a worthy reputation at that. Mind you, it's also one of Austria’s more snobbish areas and can be very expensive. Ischgl may not be the most testing place, but it offers something for everyone, with well groomed slopes serviced by fast modern lifts. Snowboarders have been coming here for years to sample the excellent selection of wide, open, long runs which suit all standards and styles of rider.

 

If what you find at Ischgl is not enough, then you can ride into the neighbouring Swiss duty-free resort of Samnaun. It can be reached by connecting lifts and is covered by the Silvretta lift pass, which can be used at three other resorts, Galtur, Kappl and See.
