Doesnt get any better....
Going to Ischgl was like a dream come true.
I've travelled the world in search of the perfect combination of good long fresh powder runs, clear blue skies, and pleasant surroundings.
Ischgl is it.
The holiday couldnt have gone better.
One of the main things I liked about Ischgl is that it isnt mainstream touristy like St Anton and Kitzbuhel and a few other famous resorts. So there are hardly any annoying drunk Brits. The majority of tourists are Germans, Dutch and a few Russians. Germans are always great, Dutch are better, and Russians just keep to themselves.
The resort is MASSIVE. In 2 weeks I still didnt do every run. The mountain straddles the Swiss border and you are actually meant to carry your passport with you while riding. In fact, a couple of times I ended up in Switerland during a run and even had lunch twice where I had to pay in Francs!
The town itself is very cute and tightly centred.
Ischgl comes alive from about 4pm when the Apre Ski crowds start to warm up. It's a sight to behold and you simply have to get into it. Anything goes - there are no rules. I witnessed a girl with two guys strip off in the middle of a dance floor and then straddle a dance pole. Countless other people were dancing on tables and flying around the room. It's awesomely entertaining if you can put up with the terribly infectious and repetitive music, the penetrating smoke and the squeezing crowd.
Anyway enough said.
Please dont visit Ischgl.
Leave it just for me!
thanks

The room was brand new inside and the bathroom was immaculate. Excellent hot water pressure (which is a must after a heavy day in deep powder).
The owner is a very sweet, very accomodating young family.
The breakfast is also fantastic and you'll be left wanting for nothing.
They also provide you with a free ski locker service by the gondola so you dont have to carry your stuff back and forth every day.
The Pension is located out of the town centre and a short walk up a hill looking down at the village. This means you are away from all the noise and drunken apre skiers staggering home at 2am singing in the streets. It also means you get a great view of the town, and get to have a nice walk home to work off your hearty dinner.
It's also very affordable, and if you are staying in Ischgl will be hard pressed to find better value for money.
I would thoroughly recommend this place.
