Ischgl Reviews

Excellent modern Austrian m/Swiss resort for all levels. Heated chair lifts and cable cars and moving walk ways in the resort. The only issue was with the skischule Ischgl who didn’t honour our 16 year olds last day 3 hour lesson. This was really disappointing.

We had a fab stay in Ischgl, snow conditions were ace, as was the weather, cold & sunny, with an early dump of snow on the Tuesday on top of an already good base. Covid curfews were eased to midnight the day we arrived from 10 pm the previous week, which worked nicely, providing seated apres ski & post dinner fun. Not back to the usual raucous standards yet but perhaps that's not a bad thing. The Adendrot Hotel was great & the staff were brilliant. The food on the other hand was at best very average, including a hideous daily soup course.

Ischgl is like St Anton but on steroids. The skiing and lift system are very impressive, didn't stand in a queue at all. Really big ski area, lots of off piste and great on mountain restaurants. Apres was wild and would go back at the drop of a hat.

First time in Ischgl. Great resort excellent for good intermediates. Lots of bars and restaurants in the town. Most good value for money. In my opinion better than other Austrian resorts like Saalbach or Mayrofen. Much better ski area and choice of bars etc. Hotel Binta was great, friendly, nice breakfasts, all in all a great trip.

We went to Ischgl for Easter 2013, staying at Chalet Abendrot. I was concerned at Ischgl's reputation for raucous nightlife but need not have been. Though the Abendrot is within easy walking distance of both main lifts, it's in a quiet little area and we didn't notice any late night noise. Dinners were excellent, breakfasts slightly less impressive. Our room was excellent, easily large enough for my wife and I and our 12 year old. Our friends rooms' were also spacious. The sauna and steam room were very welcome at te end of the day and hardly used. The skiing was near perfect. It all fans out from Idalp at 2300 so it's all high altitude skiing. Lots of the lifts go up to 2700 metres or more so there was good snow on perfectly maintained pistes everywhere and there was no queuing either. The lift system is fantastic with 6 and 8 man chairs seemingly the norm. On mountain restaurants were also excellent , we particularly liked eating outside at Bodenalpe. Toilets were immaculate. A must do run is red 80 down into Samnaun, stopping off at the Schmugglers. Red 7 is also great. Black 14a is steep but never the 70 percent gradient claimed. It gets lots of afternoon sun so best to do it late morning before it gets too heavy. Black 14b stays in good condition later into the afternoon. Having said the above there are loads of great pistes of all difficulties. Probably not the best place for beginners or timid intermediates because the only runs back to resort are red. Having said that you can take the gondola down from Idalp, lots of people do. We'll be going back!
