Ischgl is an Alpine resort that has a mix of traditional charm and modern luxury. Once a quiet farming village, it has transformed into a world-class ski destination, known for its huge ski area, legendary après-ski, and high-end dining and shopping. Nestled in a steep-sided valley on the Swiss border, Ischgl feels compact yet lively, with stylish hotels, designer boutiques, and the chalet-style buildings giving it an upscale but welcoming feel. The traffic-free village centre is packed with restaurants, bars, and entertainment, so it’s just as lively off the slopes as it is on them. The main gondola at the west end of the pedestrian zone gives visitors easy access to the slopes, and although the village gets limited sun in early winter, its high-altitude ski area makes it snow-sure throughout the season.
The Top of the Mountain (T.O.M.) concerts in Ischgl are legendary music events held at 2,300 meters in the Silvretta Arena, attracting international superstars since 1994/95. These concerts mark season openings, Easter celebrations, and season closings, with past performers including Elton John, Robbie Williams, and OneRepublic. The concerts transform the slopes into a huge festival atmosphere, making Ischgl famous not just for skiing but for world-class entertainment. In 2025, T.O.M. will celebrate its 30th anniversary with special performances and events.
Ischgl’s Silvretta Arena is a huge, high-altitude ski area with 239 km of slopes, making it a paradise for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The resort sits at nearly 3,000 meters, ensuring snow reliability from November to early May. The slopes are well-balanced, with 47 km of blue runs for beginners, 140 km of red runs for intermediates, and 47 km of black runs for those who crave a challenge. Freeriders will love the powder fields and off-piste terrain, while adrenaline seekers can test themselves on race slopes, mogul runs, and 70% gradient descents. Snowboarders and freestylers can also enjoy the Ischgl Snow Park, packed with jumps, rails, and challenging obstacles. The lift system moves 97,000 people per hour, keeping lines short, and the resort’s state-of-the-art snowmaking system ensures fantastic conditions throughout the season.
Ischgl is one of the best après-ski destinations in the Alps, known for its legendary party scene and vibrant nightlife. It kicks off right on the mountain at places like Paznauner Taja and Schneewiesel, where skiers dance on tables before heading down to the village. Once you’re in town, bars like Kitzloch and Trofana Alm keep the energy going with live music, DJs, and plenty of dancing. Or if you’re one for a more sophisticated evening, you can sip fine wines at Plangger’s Weinlounge or enjoy a cosy après-ski session in stylish lounges like Schlosslounge. If you’re up for an all-night party, Freeride, Niki’s Stadl, and Pacha have live performances and dance floors to take you into the early hours.
