Winter in Ischgl
Get out into the snow, up into the mountains, or simply soak in the winter sun and the impressive panorama. Whether active and sporty or completely relaxed: Here, everyone finds their own rhythm and perhaps their very own favorite spot in the snow. In Ischgl, the mountain experience begins right on your doorstep – with countless ways to enjoy winter exactly to your liking.
Skiing & Ski Touring
Right into the skiing pleasure: The Silvretta Arena Ischgl/Samnaun with 239 kilometers of slopes is one of the most versatile ski resorts in the Alps. Varied runs, modern cable cars, and the high alpine location ensure the best conditions – from enjoyable ski days to athletic challenges. From Apart Laver, you can start your day on the slopes with ease.
Those who prefer to discover winter away from the groomed slopes will find fascinating opportunities for ski touring in the Silvretta. Through quiet winter landscapes, you ascend to panoramic peaks and into the pristine mountain world. With experienced mountain and ski guides from the region, selected tours can be experienced safely and with excellent guidance.
This is how winter around Ischgl reveals two sides: pure skiing pleasure on the slopes and impressive mountain experiences off them.
Cross-country Skiing
Find your own rhythm while enjoying the snow-covered mountain world: Around Ischgl and Galtür, cross-country skiers can expect an extensive network of cross-country trails with approximately 100 kilometers of groomed tracks. Classic cross-country skiers and skaters will find varied routes for different demands – from relaxed loops through the valley to challenging high-altitude trails at over 2,000 meters above sea level.
Thanks to its altitude, the region offers ideal conditions for extended cross-country skiing days amidst the Silvretta. Along the way, you’ll be accompanied by clear winter air, snow-covered landscapes, and impressive views of the surrounding mountains.
Please note: Since winter 2026, the use of cross-country trails in Ischgl and Galtür is subject to a fee. Information on trails, tariffs, current conditions, and trail maps will help you plan your next round.

Even away from ski slopes and cross-country trails, winter in Ischgl has many beautiful sides. Cleared winter hiking trails and snowshoe routes lead through snow-covered landscapes, into quiet side valleys, and to special viewpoints. Ideal for all who want to enjoy the clear mountain air, the tranquility, and the panorama of the Silvretta at their own pace.
And even in the evening, the winter day is far from over. Tobogganing, ice skating, Bavarian curling, or a leisurely stroll through Ischgl provide variety after sunset. Or you can simply end the day with a good meal or a drink – exactly as it suits your vacation.
Ischgl Thermal Spa
Snow and clear winter air outside, soothing warmth inside: At the Silvretta Therme Ischgl, a winter day can be wonderfully relaxed.
