 Poster: A snowHead

Hi folks - thinking of going to Ischgl next Feb/March. It's been on our list of 'to-dos' for ages but we keep going back to Lech. How does Ischgl compare with the Arlberg region for skiing. I love the Arlberg mainly because we can set out in the morning and head over to Zurs / Stuben / St.Anton and not do the same run twice. We also like to practice off-piste on the easier slopes.

erica2004, Ischgl is very different. Piste wise it is a larger connected area than the lech-St Anton circuit. the slopes are generally intermediate and lack the mogul fields and itinerary runs of Lech St Anton Zurs etc. There is some great off piste and the snow does well into May but not as good as Lech. Off piste is great in Ischgl and if you are practicing then the runs over on Idalp have some great off piste to cut your teeth on. The runs into switzerland are a carvers paradise and the run into Samnaun on the far left of the piste map is a top to bottom blast.
Nightlife in Ischgl is amazing and legendary (but it can be a bit tacki and full or big-tached germans singing Hey baby by DJ Oetzi). It is more animated than St Anton and there are clubs for everyone and stacks of bars. Not that many Brits go to Ischgl so that is a bonus for me. I have stayed at a few hotels there so please pm or ask if you want some advice.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Netballdi, The Brigitte is a great option but if the budget/requirements stretch that far then try the Solaria or the Albona. Feel free to pm me if you rquire more indepth help.

Nickster, I too am planning our annual group pilgrimige and this year Ischgl is top of the shortlist.
You said that you know the hotels there - could you help me out with some recommendations?
We are a group of 6, 3 couples, (well 2 actual couples and 2 chaps who get so pi$$ed each night that they don't mind sharing a room) and we like a good quality hotel with a spa area (sauna/steam), preferrably half board as is saves the hassle of finding somewhere to each each evening that everyone agrees with!
Any suggestions?
We are also planning on going late Feb/early March.
