Austria Ski Resort Guide for Ischgl
Ischgl Ski Resort Guide
About the Resort
The resort is a compact village tucked away in the long, narrow Paznaun valley south of St Anton on the Swiss border. It has a wide range of accommodation from luxury hotels to simple B&Bs. The narrow main street is traffic free and the village is bypassed by the valley road up to Galtur and at the west end of the pedestrain zone is the main access lift up to the main mid mountian focus of Idalp. The resort has a very good modern lift system that take you to high slopes with reliable snow. The resort is not too good for beginners and has very little wooded terrain for shelter in bad weather. There are frequent buses down the valley to Kappl and up to Galtur.
About the Mountains near Ischgl
Ischgl is a good sized relatively high snow sure area. Most of the slopes are above the tree line. There are an increasing number of ski routes on the piste map that are replacing pistes. These routes are unpatrolled and there have been complaints of lift closures at 4pm in late season. The resort is not known for its challenging and exciting slopes and does not offer too many black runs. The slopes are mostly wide and ideal for intermediates.
