Winter
in Ischgl
Winter in Tyrol
One of the most diverse winter sports destinations in the Alps
The Silvretta Arena Ischgl Samnaun is not just the Olympus of skiing, as you may have heard, but rather the Olympus of all winter sports. In fact, this also applies to us. Every winter, nature lures us outside to experience all the adventures it has to offer.
To-dos in Ischgl?
We have a few ideas!
First things first
Skiing and snowboarding
Here are all the hard facts once again, in case you don’t know them yet or have forgotten some of them:
The Silvretta Arena is located at up to 2,872 meters above sea level and is the third largest ski area in Tyrol with 239 kilometers of pistes and a total area of 515 hectares. The 45 state-of-the-art gondolas and lifts can transport up to 94,000 people per hour. We don’t want to describe everything else, you simply have to experience it for yourself. But we will say this much: there are numerous impressive highlights waiting for you.
PS: Two more things… Firstly, your favorite location, the Hotel Olympia, is only 150m away from the cable car and the slopes. Secondly, if you ask your host Christoph nicely, he might even accompany you on a day of skiing and show you one or two insider tips and his favorite slopes.
Olympia ski room
Warm feet and a cool head
We still have a little space, especially for your winter sports equipment, because as the saying goes “better well stowed away than dusty”. Admittedly, we just made that up.
But our ski room is real, and really practical. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, we can offer you a convenient way to store all your equipment directly in our hotel. The look of the whole area is not bad either, you’ll feel at home straight away.
Cross-country skiing
Do you prefer classic or skating?
Okay, we still have to work with you on “Tyrolean”, but what about “Nordic”? Nordic sports, that is. Do you enjoy skiing as much as we do? Then it’s very likely that you’ll feel right at home in Ischgl. An interconnected network of 73 kilometers of cross-country trails is just waiting to be discovered by you. And if you’ve never been on cross-country skis before, there’s a great range of schools and guides on site.
Ready, steady, go!
Ischgl’s tobogganing adventure
Of course, a real winter vacation should not be complete without a tobogganing evening. From mid-December to the beginning of April, you have the wonderful opportunity to whizz down the toboggan run at night, directly under the magical starry sky. But first you take the Silvrettabahn up to the Idalp. With a length of seven kilometers and a height difference of 950 meters, the toboggan run in Ischgl is one of the longest in the Alps.
Nature and lots of
Alpine huts
A dream for the taste buds, an experience for all the senses, Tyrolean alpine cuisine.
But we wouldn’t be in Ischgl if our mountain huts weren’t a little different, a little more special than all the others. Our huts offer all the Tyrolean classics you know. But there are also many other delicacies on offer, from fish dishes, pasta and pizza to dumplings and spaetzle.
Hungry yet?
Ready for spring fever?
Spring Blanc
For us, spring is by far the most beautiful time of year. Everything calms down, the temperatures slowly rise and the most enjoyable events of the year start in Ischgl. Musical highlights await you at the almost world-famous Top of the Mountain concerts. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, we recommend the sundowners on the Pardatschgrat. Just sit down in a deckchair. With a delicious drink in your hand and good sound in your ears, you can look forward to the spectacular sunset.
Nightlife and culinary delights
A little party never killed nobody
Even on an extremely active winter vacation, good food and a party or two are a must. Culinary variety is provided by the numerous restaurants throughout the village, from pizzerias and traditional inns to exclusive award-winning restaurants.
And after dinner? Then it’s off to the pubs, bars and clubs. Enjoy the evening, maybe even the night, with good entertainment, great beats and delicious drinks. Or would you rather stay in the Kaminstube, with Max at the bar, with the best beats? That’s only possible with us, of course.
To melt your heart
The Silvretta Thermal spa
Yes, we all need some time out, even or especially on vacation. Since December 2022, Ischgl has been setting completely new standards here with the unique Silvretta Therme. 1,000m2 of water, 3 large saunas, a steam bath, massage offers, physiotherapy, fitness and, of course, a varied culinary offer. Still not convinced? Then come and see for yourself.
