Summary
Ischgl is at last becoming better known to Brits. It’s about time – the mountain is one of Austria’s best, and we love it (except in a snowstorm).
The village? We’re less convinced. We visited a couple of seasons ago as part of a Tirolean tour and, looking back, Ischgl came in seventh out of seven as a place to stay. Yes, it has clear merits. But it’s all a bit high-pressure, with thousands of cars and scores of coaches piling in to its parking lots, and little room to breathe.
News – this season 2012/13
Two mountain restaurants, the Höllboden and the Panorama at Alp Trida Sattel, have been refurbished and extended. Snowmaking has also been extended.
News – last season 2011/12
A six-pack replaced the Sonnenlift T-bar on the nursery slopes at Idalp. And a covered moving carpet was installed in the same area. There’s a new umbrella bar at the Panorama restaurant at Idalp. Some 200 more snow-guns were installed.
News – 2010/11
A six-pack was installed from the Höllenkar valley (run 24) to the top of Greitspitz, serving the red and black pistes on its northern slopes. On the Swiss side, a six-pack replaced the Mullerbahn quad from Alp Trida to Alp Bella.
