A small ski resort village in Austria’s Paznaun Valley, Ischgl belies its small size with a wealth of action-packed winter activities, events and apres-ski entertainment. Keen skiers and snowboarders will value the town’s ski-in-ski-out possibilities with three cable cars up to the Silvretta Arena ski area, which offers various runs for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Ischgl is a haven for apres-ski fun, from live music concerts to all-night clubs and cosy fine-dining restaurants. The latter includes classic Austrian cuisine at the mountaintop Panorama restaurant and authentic Japanese fare at Lucy Wang Ischgl in town. Ischgl nightlife is highlighted by the high-society Posthörndl club, Fire & Ice bar and Schloss-Lounge.
Looking for some culture and history? Visit the Mathias Schmid Museum to admire artwork by beloved Austrian artist, Mathias Schmid, or the Seilbahnmuseum Ischgl to discover the town’s modern history. Retail therapy is found at shops scattered throughout the village, such as INTERSPORT, sport + mode and Sissis Global Fashion.
