Those who enjoy transcending national frontiers can simply strap on their boards and ski from Austria all the way to Switzerland thanks to the joint ski pass offered by Ischgl in Austria and Samnaun, the duty-free haven in Switzerland, the Silvretta Arena – a snow-assured winter sports paradise at high altitude.

Ischgl also offers you a choice of endless, idyllic cross-country trails on which you can hone your classic skiing or skating skills. And for all the tobogganists among you, there’s also the 7 m long nighttime tobogganing run – one of the longest of its kind in the Alps.
