Thinking about mid-April trip to Ischgl as some very good cheap flights to Innsbruck. Anyone any travel advice from there to Ishcgl? Also anyone any good recommendations as to where to stay, don't want to self cater but anything else considered.
Let it snow some more!

The drive from Innsbruck to Ischgl is easy. Motorway all the way to Landeck, then a short drive up the valley. Parking is free in the main car park by the Silvrettabahn. Would imagine the train/bus option is easy as well, since the buses from Ischgl to Landeck are fairly frequent, but I've never done it.
There isn't much in the way of self catering options anyway. I've stayed in the Albona and Flianna. Both were excellent. But the standard is high in Ischgl so I'd imagine it's very hard to go wrong.

You can get the Postbus much cheaper. Requires a change at Pians.
Mid April this year Ischgl will be a goast town your be able to take your pick of acccomodation. I think many Hotels will be closing up after the end of this week, however there still be plenty of places to stay.

When I went this year you could not park overnight in the lift car parks, I would check with any accommodation provider about parking if intending to drive.

skivor,
was in ischgl late january & stayed B&B in the Chesa Monte. Found it clean ,friendly, centrally located & a reasonable price by Ischgl standards.
Innsbruck to Ischgl was easy using bus from airport to station, train to Landeck, then postbus to ischgl. All run pretty frequently.
Timetables can be found via the OBB or Ischgl websites

We've stayed in the Stefanie and Dorfschmeider, both new and excellent b&bs in the centre of town.

Have stayed several times in the Goldener Adler, most recently in December. It's right in the centre of town by the church, very convenient for lifts. Lovely old building that has been tastefully modernised inside. Good food, excellent "wellness centre" (sauna, jacuzzi, etc.), pleasant staff.

We stayed at a hotel Garni (breakfast only) called the Tanzer. Was ski in at the end of the day, and a 5 minute flat walk to the lifts at the beginning.
Great little B&B, but I do think that Ischgl accommodation is generally of a very high standard so you would be hard pressed to make a big mistake. There are some very smart and expensive places though!
We took a taxi from Innsbruck airport to Ischgl as there were 8 of us so it was really good value. Other alternatives would be train to Landeck plus post bus, or train plus taxi, or hire a car. Probably wouldn't bother with a car personally as it's quite far up the valley, so personally I probably wouldn't use the car between arrival and departure day, unlike some areas where we ski different areas each daym although there are some other smaller ski areas on the valley approach road.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Given the fact that you can't go far wrong with accomodation in Ischgl, I would suggest that you are better off being as near the dorftunnel as possible.
The shiny new Fimba gondola is accessed through the tunnel and is the quietest of the 3 uplifts.
I just stayed at the Dorfschmiede - was very pleased with it.

You know it makes sense.

Have just booked Hotel Persura for next February half term. The only one that I could find that was reasonably priced and fairly central (I think as website in German). Everything seems to be getting booked fairly quickly as this was my third choice.
