Ski areas and terrain
Idalp and Pardatschgrat
Large central access area with lifts from different parts of Ischgl.
Palinkopf and Velill
Higher terrain and longer routes; check lift closing time.
Samnaun cross-border sector
Swiss-side linked pistes, subject to lift opening and the correct pass.
Piste difficulty: The extensive area has blue, red and black pistes. Beginners should start on designated Idalp teaching terrain rather than taking a long return run at the end of the day.
Planning your arrival: Give the driver or booking site your actual Ischgl address; a bus or hotel in Kappl, Mathon or Galtür is not the same destination.
