Ischgl is a high Paznaun resort at 1,377 metres with the Silvretta Arena on its doorstep, and its homes mostly sleep two to six. It has nightclubs and bars, so choose the location carefully if you want to sleep.
Ischgl sits on the valley floor at 1,377 metres. The Pardatschgratbahn takes about ten minutes from the village centre to the ridge above 2,600 metres, the lifts reach 2,872 metres, and the pistes run across the Swiss border to Samnaun. In summer mountain biking is the main draw, with lifts reaching nearly 2,800 metres. There is no railway in the Paznaun, so the village depends on road and bus. The homes here are compact, with one or two bedrooms each, and none has a pool or a garden. Evenings are busy in winter, with clubs and bars in the village, and the après-ski has a reputation for being lively.
