Introducing Ischgl

When the first flakes fall, the alpine village of Ischgl becomes a quintessential powdersville with snow-sure slopes and a boisterous après-ski scene that gives St Anton am Arlberg a run for its money. The resort is a bizarre combination of rural meets raunchy; a place where log chalets and lap-dancing bars, folk music and techno coexist. Love it or lump it, this is no place for retiring wallflowers, especially during the season-closing Top of the Mountain Concert, which has welcomed a host of stars including Sting, Bon Jovi and Elton John in recent years.
