Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
Snowsure, wide and always immaculately groomed would sum up the pistes in Ischgl.
Its high-altitude terrain, linked over the Swiss border to Samnaun, is always amongst the first to open and last to close each season. Add in the world’s most comfortable and powerful lift system – there’s been on average a new lift here each winter since 2000 – and it is clear why the resort is always busy, perhaps its only slight downfall.
Our Ski Club Rep Service will be in resort from January right through until April.

Pros and cons
- One of the Alps’ most snowsure resorts
- Great intermediate cruising on wide, open pistes
- The best lift system in the world – you never need to ride on long, slow lifts
- Vibrant village with some great après
- Beginner slopes are up high, which can be cold in bad weather
- Resort runs are steep and can be very busy at the end of the day
- Few seriously challenging runs for expert skiers
- Accommodation hard to book for less than a week
On the Slopes
The number of visitors does mean however that there is always a buzz around the compact resort centre, especially during après. The action starts on the slopes at Paznauner Thaya, before ending up in the legendary Kuhstall or Schatzi Bar – often continuing through dinner into the small hours. Despite this you can easily have a quieter break and enjoy one of the resort’s numerous family-run hotels, many of which have excellent spas.
Most of the skiing takes place well over 2000m and thanks to one of the best snowmaking systems in the Alps, great snow is almost guaranteed. The network of wide pistes generally suits intermediate skiers best, but there is a great learner area by Idalp and some of the steeper runs in the Palinkopf sector and by the new Gampenbahn are really popular with experts. Intermediates upwards must try the long, winding ‘Duty Free Run’ down into Samnaun, which takes you through a wild valley down into Switzerland.
For Beginners
All of the beginner areas are located up the hill at Idalp. The facilities and the ski school are fantastic, but whilst the altitude guarantees snow cover, it can get cold and difficult to see in bad weather – the heated seats and bubbles on the key Sonnenbahn chair do help though! Once the basics have been mastered, head over Flimjoch to the gentle rolling terrain above Alp Trida in Switzerland. Downloading to town is required at the end of the day however, as the resort runs are steep and can often be very busy.
For Intermediates
For intermediates, there are fantastic options across the mountain. We’d recommend avoiding the busy slopes above Idalp and head to either end of the piste map, especially if the sun is out. There are some great, cruisey runs by Visnitzkopf and the two new lifts in the Palinkopf sector – particularly the Gampenbahn – have improved access to some of the finest long intermediate runs in the resort, including the ‘Duty Free Run’. If conditions are tough, downloading at the end of the day is recommended.
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
The best advanced off piste terrain can be found off the Piz Val Gronda cable car and near the Höllspitze chair. If you’re looking for steep groomed runs, head to the Greitspitze, where laps of steep corduroy are made much more pleasant by the heated leather seats on the chairlift back up. Away from the ski area there are some fantastic ski touring options – hire a local guide.
In the Resort
Family run hotels and guesthouses dominate the village of Ischgl, which is compact and easily walkable via the mostly pedestrianised main street. The majority are of very good quality and many feature excellent spas. Lively bars – some of which are serious après venues (Kuhstall, Schatzi Bar) and typical Austrian restaurants are littered around the centre of town. Cheaper accommodation, linked by a free bus service, can be found in Kappl and Mathon.
For Families
As mentioned, the main beginner zone is up the mountain at Idalp, but the fantastic ski school comes highly recommended and they’ll also deal with lunch.
This gives you great freedom to explore the slopes during the day. Back in town there’s a natural ice rink, the floodlit night tobogganing run on Mondays & Thursdays is a real highlight and be sure to watch the Ski School Demoshow every Friday at the base of the Pardatschgratbahn.
For Après
Start up on the hill at Paznauner Thaya – a big open-air bar with live music that really gets going as the sun starts to dip each afternoon. For those not partying up the hill, the action kicks off early in town, with the iconic Kuhstall and Fire & Ice leading the way by the base of the Silvrettabahn and the rowdy Schatzi Bar the place to be by the Pardatschgratbahn. Ischgl is also famous for hosting huge opening and closing concerts – the likes of Elton John and Robbie Williams have recently headlined.
Getting to Ischgl
Innsbruck is the nearest airport and is only an hour and a half’s drive to the east. We’d recommend hiring a car only if your hotel has free parking and if you’re looking to ski at the other resorts in the valley. Transfers are easy to arrange but it is also possible to travel to the resort by public transport – catch the train to Landeck and then jump on the 260 bus.
- Innsbruck airport: 1.5 hour (driving), 2 hours (by public transport)
- Zürich airport: 2.5 hours (driving)
- Munich airport: 3 hours (driving)
- Calais: approximately 13 hours driving (612 miles)

Ischgl Reps Calendar 2024/25
Your Ski Club Reps are in resort for one reason only; to help you discover better skiing. They are your personal resort gurus, with years of experience skiing here and around the world, who will bring you and your fellow Members together to conquer the mountain! Stay up to date with everything in resort, find the best spots for an après beer, and ski to your hearts content.
Our Reps will be in resort between 28 December 2024 and 28 March 2025, skiing six days a week – Reps’ day off/changeover day is Saturday in this resort. We are making changes to how registration to ski with the Club in resort works. Thank you for your patience whilst we undertake these updates to the registration process.
Ian Caldwell
Repping dates: 28/12/2024 - 11/01/2025I started skiing at the age of 25 then taking a long break from skiing until my early 40's, as a consequence I can empathise with late starters. The Ski Club has provided a great environment to improve my ski skills, enjoying days on-piste with friends as well as developing a taste for the back country and off-piste. It has given me opportunities to ski in wonderful places meeting a variety of like-minded people. For me skiing is about making the most of the mountain and having fun! In addition to skiing, in the summer I enjoy the outdoors walking as well as being a regular cyclist. If we haven't met already, I hope to meet you on the slopes.
Paul Scott
Repping dates: 11/01/2025 - 25/01/2025I learned to ski whilst serving with the Royal Air Force in Germany in the early 90s. I was hooked the first time I put a pair of skis on and can still remember the absolute joy of transitioning from snowplough to parallel. When I left the Service, I spent a season in Canada and qualified as a Level 2 Instructor. Unfortunately, life got in the way for a few years, and I didn’t ski often. But now I’m retired and looking forward to enjoying time in the mountains and skiing with great people. I look forward to meeting you.
Tony Stredwick
Repping dates: 25/01/2025 - 08/02/2025I was introduced late to skiing but I have doing my best to make up for lost time ever since. Most of my skiing has been done in the Chamonix valley and to call it a spiritual home is only a slight exaggeration. My wife and I spent a winter there a few years ago whilst on a career break and most winters I manage to get out there for a few weeks, while at the same time, trying not to outstay my welcome with generous friends! In the months of the year when I am unable to ski you will usually find me at the tennis club, where my tendency towards mildly obsessive behaviour currently manifests itself.
Glyn Parry
Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 22/02/2025I am lucky enough to spend most of my time in the great outdoors after a 30 plus year career in finance. I have loved skiing since the first time I tried it as a student - the scenery, the people and the exhilaration. When not skiing I enjoy sailing, cycling, walking, gardening and travelling to new places. I look forward to meeting you on the snow!
John Parkinson
Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 08/03/2025I was once an accountant, but luckily I retired early enabling me to indulge in things I really like to do. This mainly involves the great outdoors - essentially skiing (as much as possible) , walking, or should I say following, my collie dog and also playing golf (badly!)
I live in Bristol with my wife and the aforesaid dog......I cannot wait to get skiing again......but I will miss the dog!
Richard Congdon
Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 29/03/2025I love the combination of meeting new people and skiing. I try to extract maximum enjoyment from every inch of the mountain and so only go fast when needed. Left to me, I look for quieter spots and softest snow. I am happy having breaks that are shorter but more frequent if its sunny. In my other life I like triathlon and cookery. I look forward to meeting you and sharing some fun times on the mountain
