Winter in all its facets
Beyond the slopes, Ischgl reveals its quieter side: snow-covered forests, crunching snow and moments that are all yours.

Ski touring
The snow crunches beneath your skis, the air is clear and your gaze roams across the vast expanses of the Silvretta. Around Ischgl, numerous high-alpine ski tours await experienced ski tourers – from November to May, often across untracked slopes. You can get the necessary equipment from the local ski schools, and knowledgeable guides will accompany you into the backcountry.
Down to the valley under floodlights
Night tobogganing
At 7 kilometres long with a descent of 950 metres, the illuminated night toboggan run in Ischgl is one of the longest in Austria. On special tobogganing evenings from mid-December to early April, you can get in the mood with some hut magic at the Idalp mountain restaurant before gliding under floodlights from 2,320 metres down to Ischgl. Tobogganing by daylight is also available in Kappl, Galtür and See.
At your own pace
Cross-country skiing
The Paznaun is one of Tyrol’s top cross-country skiing regions and holds the “Tyrolean Cross-Country Specialist” seal of quality. Around 70 km of trails run through the region at altitudes between 1,377 and 2,040 m. Particularly impressive: the high-altitude trail on the Bielerhöhe from Galtür to the Silvretta Reservoir. Several trail access points, cross-country courses and personal advice at the ski schools make it easy for newcomers to get started.
Good alternatives for bad weather
Tennis
Fans of the little felt ball can serve all year round at the Tenniscenter Ischgl, just a five-minute walk from the Trofana Royal. Four indoor courts offer space for competitive matches, regardless of weather and snow. Courts can be booked online; please note that no equipment hire is available on site.
Ice adventure world
No pirouettes required: even regular ice skating becomes a show on the ice rink at the Silvretta Therme Ischgl. Around 1,300 m² of ice runs outdoors and through a glazed tunnel around the building, past an ice bar and curling lanes. A sociable meeting place for cold or wet days that combines perfectly with a visit to the pool or sauna area.
Winter highlights
In search of quiet moments
On the groomed and signposted winter hiking trails through Ischgl’s mountains, the hustle and bustle reliably falls away – for example on the wildly romantic route to Mathon, through the Trisanna gorge or up countless hairpin bends to the Friedrichshafener Hütte. If you believe happiness lies off the beaten track, explore the Paznaun on a guided snowshoe hike.
A horse-drawn sleigh ride around Ischgl or up to Galtür also offers an unusual perspective on the alpine scenery. What could be more romantic than gliding through the winter forest, snugly wrapped up?
