Skiing / Snowboarding in Ischgl

by desert_princess

If by chance you came in Ischgl for the skiing / respectively snowboarding/ and you still think the same after a hard night out and visiting all the bars, you have to keep in mind that you have to deal with a huge ski area - 40 lifts and 200km of slopes located in its biggest part at an altitude between 2000 and 2872m are awaiting you.

see the area info under silvretta.at

Walk your dog at 2000m

by desert_princess

What is more logical to do than to walk your dog where people ski at 2000m in front of Idalp?
It makes for sure a difference from everybody around carrying skis and poles and having this specific robocop pace when walking around with ski boots :))

The Good old Austrian (Apres) Ski village

"It's time for a bit of snow pleasure.."

feb 2004 we went to Ischgl (pronounce "Ishgol") in Tirol for a bit of wintersporting pleasure. On arival it had snowed already and we had booked a vacation home up in the mountains. near Kappl, a vilage nearby. Unfortunately we had summer-tires and no snow chains.
pretty dumb because we couln't reach our destination. Bought some chains and got on our way.

The vilage is small but stuffed with hotels and ski-shops. There are thee gondola's wich take you to up the mountains.

The skiing area is very nice with lots of slopes (blue/red/black) for any level.

we had a very nice time skiing and apres-skiing down in the vilage...

look for more info on: www.ischgl.com

"Skiing from Austria to Switserland"

Because Ischgl is on the Swiss bourder, we skied to Samnaun a Swiss skiing village only 5 km further down the mountain.

"Downtown apres-skiing"

need no further explaination...
