Ischgl is an Alpine ski resort in Austria. Ischgl spans from 1377 m to 2872 m above sea level. The published figures cover 239 km of piste and 46 lifts.
Late November to early May, per ischgl.com; e.g. the 2025/26-labelled season pages referenced an opening around 26 Nov and closing around 28 Mar for one recent season, though exact dates are set year-to-year and some pages we found referenced overlapping/future-dated season labels that were not fully consistent - treat exact day/month figures as indicative, not fixed. Nearest airport: Innsbruck Airport, ~95-100 km. No train station in Ischgl itself; nearest is Landeck-Zams (~45 min by train from Innsbruck Hbf), connected onward to Ischgl by the regional bus line 260 up the Paznaun valley. Zurich Airport is also a viable alternative for some travelers (roughly 2 hr drive).

Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
The official ischgl.com ski-resort page's difficulty breakdown (47 km blue + 140 km red + 47 km black = 234 km) does not exactly sum to the site's own stated 239 km total; a ~5 km gap is unexplained (possibly a rounding update between the total and the breakdown figures being refreshed at different times). We report both as published rather than reconciling them ourselves.
The 239 km figure is for the combined Ischgl (Austria) + Samnaun (Switzerland) Silvretta Arena area, not Ischgl alone; English Wikipedia independently corroborates a very close 238 km total for the same combined area, which is reassuring cross-validation.
Season opening/closing exact dates found during research were inconsistent between pages/years fetched (some appeared to mix current and future season labels); we deliberately kept season_typical general rather than asserting a specific date pair as verified fact.
No green-graded pistes exist in the Austrian/Swiss blue/red/black grading system used here.
Could not independently verify a dedicated on-piste terrain/freestyle park name for Ischgl in the sources checked; omitted rather than invented.
Ischgl's lift network is large and interconnected with Samnaun (Switzerland); listed lifts are the three main Ischgl-side access lifts plus the Idalp area, not exhaustive.
Night skiing found for Ischgl in these sources is a lit sledding/tobogganing run, not confirmed night skiing on ski pistes; described precisely as sledding to avoid overstating.
