Did a day here in early March, it's high and snow sure. The sun was shining, the snow was fresh and everyone was heading in the opposite direction for a day in Ischgl. Result: deserted pistes, perfect grippy powder and that increasingly rare occurrence: no ice! It was without doubt the best day's skiing I've had in approx. 20 years!

The ski area is compact with good lifts, including a new gondola opening up an extended black run. Also good selection of reds and perfect for young families.

For hard core skiers there's only enough to keep you happy for 2 or 3 days, so you'll want the valley pass which provides full access to Ischgl, Kappl and See.

Subsistence on the mountain: excellent value.

Didn't sample the night life but, all in all, a highly recommended resort.
