Even though the culinary offerings, entertainment factor and star-studded lineup in Ischgl are great, winter sports are and remain the most compelling argument for visitors to Ischgl. The Silvretta Arena ski area, which is connected to Samnaun in Switzerland, is considered particularly snow-sure and can also score points with its generosity: 239 kilometers of slopes are part of the area, and the 45 lifts are all equipped with modern facilities. The Piz Val Gronda lift, which opened in 2013, has added a great deal of value. It opens up untouched deep snow slopes directly from the mountain station and thus ensures perfect deep snow descents. Ischgl also scores with freeride areas and one of the largest connected snow parks in Europe. With its wide range of offers, Ischgl is not only popular with young winter sports enthusiasts, but also with families and passionate ski tourers. In addition, the destination offers numerous winter sports alternatives: Starting from Ischgl, cross-country skiers can take advantage of 73 kilometres of trails and pursue their passion up to 2036 metres in altitude. There are also 60 kilometres of winter hiking trails. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy the snow-covered landscape from a horse-drawn carriage. Another recurring highlight: the snow sculpture competition "Forms in White", where creative people demonstrate their artistic skills every year by building figures out of ice and snow. The next event will take place from 10 to 14 January under the motto "Winter Sports". (The icy works of art can be admired until the end of April, by the way.) Also worth noting: Ischgl is home to the largest climate-neutral ski resort in the Alps - since January 1, 2021, all cable cars, mountain restaurants and snow-making facilities have been powered by green electricity. Ischgl is a pioneer in this area and acts as an innovative and positive role model for other ski regions.
