So what's it like?
High altitude skiing, top class hotels and a lively nightlife
High in the Paznaun valley, Ischgl has developed from a farming village into a bustling resort with a buzzing night life. The village retains its traditional charm but around each corner you'll find boutique shops, top-class restaurants and glitzy bars and clubs. The Silvretta area lift pass gives access to Ischgl and Galtür (free ski bus - 10 minutes between Ischgl & Galtür) - 330kms of pistes, amazing off-piste and some of the best snowboarding in the Alps. The area also enjoys excellent snow records until late into the season and you can 'Ski 2 Countries' with some great runs down into Samnaun in Switzerland!
