For anyone shopping at Samaun, there is a customs hut when you get the left back up to Viderjoch - on the border, so you may face a customs check and, if you have exceeded your duty free limit, pay duty. .
Ishcgl is my favourite resort in the world, I was out there this year when they shut the the resort for Covid-19. I would also highly recommend going to Galtur for a day, it is an easy ski day and has some great runs, it is only 20 minuets on the bus from Ischgl. If you miss the English pub while out there then the Golden Eagle is always a good spot.
if you want to show a friend, the special layout of Ischgl with the tunnels , and distances, send him this one: hope you'll love it: th-cam.com/video/P0xrd5FZDDA/w-d-xo.html
When you take the duty free samnaun run remember to bring your passport. I didn't and was afraid of being refused acess across the border. We did get checked by the police on the way back. We had to show what we bought but thankfully didnt need to show ID. and yes, paznauer taya is the best. Look for some guy dressed up as a Russian KGB agent. He's always there.
That not needed as Switzerland is part of the Schengentreaty, meaning free travel within Europe. You only have to show you ID/Passport when you cross a border of a country that is not part of this treaty. However, bringing ID is never a bad thing. It only helps to have it on you when accidents happen or something like that.
Public transport; I travelled to Ischgl from Munich Airport, getting the tube from Airport to Munchen Hauptbahnhof ( or you can get off at Munchen Ost -)and onward by train to Innsbruck, then getting train from Innsbruck to Landek Zams and finally get the connecting bus, outside the train station, directly to Ischgl. Alternatively you can catch a FlixBus from outside the airport terminal which travels into Munich and then on to Innsbruck and drops passengers close to train station. Flixbus takes longer than by train but is much cheaper; I paid 21 euro from airport to Innsbruck - best to book bus ticket online to ensure a seat.
I’ve been to at Anton and ischgl (but our ishcgl trip got cut short due to Covid so didn’t get to do all the bars we wanted to). Which do people thing is better??? I loved both. Will def be going to back ishcgl for unfinished business .
hi Laura, we think, today St Anton is better, mainly after the connection to Zurs. but i would def go back to Ischgl in your case. great resort. the apres ski in town is better there😘
LOL😅.... I recommend you to watch this video, that help to understand the layout of the village and make you kind of a tour there: th-cam.com/video/P0xrd5FZDDA/w-d-xo.html
Oh Ischgl... I had there a lot of great skiing and apres-ski days. If you love Skiing/Snowboarding and the Mountains, then i totally recommend Ischgl to you guys :)
what about this winter? Planning to go there, or maybe save it for really post corona winter? I wonder what will be the restrictions this winter, if at all
@@SkiResortsVideo like I'm going to Zell am See, Tauern Spa (always wanted to stay there) in March for sure, but maybe in February I'll go, I'm vaccinated so should be ok.
@@TravelwithPavel good choice. Maiskogel and keitzsteinhorn are now connected, and checkout ski circus of course. have fun. I believe it is going to be awsome season
I usually do 2 big trips a year to various places around the world with a small group. Im 51 (but very youthful;), my son is 25. We usually have a varying group of 10-14 people of mixed ages. Some are very laid back and mostly ski and some like to go dancing, etc. Great group of diverse people. You are welcome to join us anytime.
8.5 for village charm? As you mentioned, its one of the most charming ski villages in Austria. It's clean, very well maintained and offers pretty good shopping facilities. I'd definitively give it a 9.5. I agree with the other scores.
Thats not true, we're always going to ischgl, after the season in our ski resort ended. Just for a few days, to make our last turns, drink a lot and having a great season ending. Meeting always a lot of ski schools, waiters, barkeepers etc. from other ski resorts in austria.
an infamous apres-ski bar in ischgl was a super-spreader origin of the covid pandemic in europe. apres-ski hygiene issues and cover-ups by local politicians have been a dominant top topic in austrian news since then.
Never mind some dead tourists, nobody could know that the Corona-virus kills, couldn't we? And stopping the ski season early would have really cost us money ...
@@amblincork Huh, a junior historian in the making! Maybe check your sources, or even better, consult them, to begin with. And maybe think twice before you use rash generalisations like 'anybody' ...
@@amblincork No, it's still wrong. Check the chronology of 'COVID'. The timespan in question is early to mid-March 2020. The very name 'COVID' was barely a month old at the time and by far not universally used yet. In Austria the first cases were reported in early March, but the exponential growth in China in the months before and the growing problems in Italy were known to authorities and there were serious discussions in government circles about closing the tourism season early. And there was already troubling feedback from a number of European countries claiming that their returning tourists had brought back COVID in numerous cases and there was probably an infection hotspot in Tyrol. Enter the Tyrolean Tourism Tycoons. They were fighting like hell to postpone measures and well positioned to do so with their political clout. When finally first measures (like stopping the idiotic binge drinking evenings) were enacted they simply ignored them for a number of days, and when finally a lockdown was planned their cronies in the local chamber of commerce leaked the info early and produced an absolutely chaotic mass-exodus which helped spread the virus further. All well documented, check the press of the time, even the whitewash local enquiry commission report is damning enough. Again: use sources, not opinions. And don't suppose you can ever know what thousands of other people were knowing or thinking at a given time. You don't.

Very informative!
Makes it easier to make the decision on where to go this season.
For anyone shopping at Samaun, there is a customs hut when you get the left back up to Viderjoch - on the border, so you may face a customs check and, if you have exceeded your duty free limit, pay duty. .
thanks again for the advice!

@@SkiResortsVideo The tunnel system is great - Ischgl has put a lot of effort into making things easy for skiers.
A wonderful video for a wonderful location,
Really deserve a score of 9
or more
Thanks for the recommendation

Great video. Looks like my next ski destination
Very nice review! ,good tips especially hotel locations. Thanks
Very good review with tons of important info
I would love to go here one day.
Good stuff! Thanks very much for the review!

hi Laura,

but i would def go back to Ischgl in your case. great resort. the apres ski in town is better there😘
Did you make it back? What do you think of St Anton? Ive been thinking about a trip there. Have you been to Zermatt/Cervina
Your Videos are just getting better and better! Run 80 on its own seems worth the trip
what's this like now and if I wanted to book for mid january 2022?
apres ski is only sitting, and numbers of people in spa is a bit restricted, but other than that, everything is open
@6.08.."it can become quite a costly vacation".....the understatemenent of the year.
LOL😅.... I recommend you to watch this video, that help to understand the layout of the village and make you kind of a tour there:
th-cam.com/video/P0xrd5FZDDA/w-d-xo.html
LOL ! Well when a ski resport has 4 or 5 5 Star Hotels !!! Accomodation can be very expensive there
Great video. Please teach me how to record the zoom!
Really nice place and the slopes are perfect 😁
Transfers from Innsbruck is so expensive... anyone have any recommendations?
train to Landek and bus from there. it is a drag, I agree
bus from airport to train station, train to landeck and then bus towards wirl getting off at ishgl
Woo !!! Looks amazing!!
When have you been there?
Do yo have one on Saalbach / Hinterglemm?
When is the optimal time to go there? I'm not too fond of the afterskis so I'd like a time when it's a bit more quiet and thus maybe a bit cheaper. :)
There is no quiet season.. Ischgl is every day party ;)
First Tuesday in August 🤣🤣🤣
Quiet in Ischgl? Forget it!
Before Christmas is always quieter and a little bit cheaper for accomodation
top video
good tips!
Oh Ischgl... I had there a lot of great skiing and apres-ski days. If you love Skiing/Snowboarding and the Mountains, then i totally recommend Ischgl to you guys :)
Trofana Alm is the best apres ski!
Yeah. Trofana is amazing.
Been nearly every year since 1992; crazy then, crazy now.
Eric Dunn, same
Best resort and unknown to most Brits :-)
what music is playing in the background?
in which point in time, my friend?
Amazing!!
Planned to go there this year at the end of March and than stupid flu happened and next winter it wont be the same with night life.
what about this winter?
Planning to go there, or maybe save it for really post corona winter?
I wonder what will be the restrictions this winter, if at all

@@SkiResortsVideo yes I saw it's connected now (was supposed to go there in 2020 at the end of March ) and thanks I hope it will
@@SkiResortsVideo because this year I only managed to snowboard in Romania as company send me there for few months and they had ski resorts open
Looks great. Well informed. Started taking notes
I used to come there, but it totally lost its flair.
because of what happened in 2020 or you've been there lately and was disappointed from the vibe?
Woww,, 👏👏
please reply with the name of the ski resort you want us to review next
are there groups there for solo traveler to join?
I usually do 2 big trips a year to various places around the world with a small group. Im 51 (but very youthful;), my son is 25. We usually have a varying group of 10-14 people of mixed ages.

8.5 for village charm? As you mentioned, its one of the most charming ski villages in Austria. It's clean, very well maintained and offers pretty good shopping facilities. I'd definitively give it a 9.5. I agree with the other scores.
10 definitely 👍
Show us the powder!

Funny how many international Viewers like Ischgl and Sölden. Germans and Austrians normally don't like those Party resorts

untrue mate
I have been there
that video didn't age well.
why?
an infamous apres-ski bar in ischgl was a super-spreader origin of the covid pandemic in europe. apres-ski hygiene issues and cover-ups by local politicians have been a dominant top topic in austrian news since then.
Pandemic spread: 9 out of 10!

it is true,
and some people took terrible decisions there, but the pandemic was to happen, no matter what

The virus village?
yes
