Therefore, the ski area Ischgl-Samnaun attracts predominantly a young audience, but also those who are young at heart and ambitious winter sports enthusiasts.
Ischgl-Samnaun / Silvretta Arena Ski Resort
238 optimally groomed kilometers of slopes extend in front of a magnificent mountain backdrop. Of these, 38km are classified as easy, 155km as medium, and 4km as difficult. The 44 ski lifts can transport up to 88,900 people per hour, so long waiting times for the ascent are not an issue here.

Tip: a real challenge for every winter sports enthusiast is the so-called Route Eleven. It combines black and red descents over a length of 11km and leads from Greitspitz (2,872m) to the valley, to Ischgl.
