Silvretta Arena Ischgl/Samnaun
Also known as Ischgl / Silvretta Arena
About the area
Silvretta Arena Ischgl/Samnaun is a big area built around red terrain: of 163 km of pistes, 82 km are red and 26 km black, with a further 9 km of marked freeride. That mix makes it a strong choice for confident intermediates and for experts, who get 36 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (22%) and a single run with 921 m of vertical. Beginners are not shut out either: 44 km, or 27%, is graded green or blue, there are 3 magic carpets for first turns and 35 short easy runs sit right next to a lift base, which also suits families.
The 46 lifts include 25 chairlifts, 6 gondolas and 3 cable cars, so small children can be moved uphill in cabins rather than on open chairs. Skiing runs between 1351 m and 2867 m, high enough to hold snow well, and the longest descent measures 4465 m. Around 7 km of piste is floodlit.
