RichardB, Have been to Galtur and several times to Ischgl. The ski area at Galtur is quite small but reasonably varied and pleasant and never crowded. If you are looking fo r advanced skiing you won't find a lot of piste there and will probably look down the valley to Ischgl. It is at the head of the valley and north facing and gets very cold in winter.
There is a ski bus down to Ischgl, can't remember if you have to pay as I have had a car when I have been. Ischgl is a good area, big and varied which I am back to in a couple of weeks. Prices are on hte high side by Austrian standards but good value compared with the big French resorts.

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

RichardB, Free bus to Ischgl and not too manic as it starts in Galtur so you get on OK. Ischgl is a brilliant ski area, top 10 in the Alps easy.
Double check in Ischgl first - there are cheaper places B&B and you can eat out well on the Hotel's Abendmenus for 15€ a night (or there's always Burger King...) The Feriengluck is a good B&B (ZimmerFruhstruck just doesn't sound the same...)

I agree with red 27, look for pensions or b and b on edge of Ischgl and you could well pick up a bargain, central Ischgl hotels are pricey, but there is value to be had. The area is big with lots of good off piste options and fewer people chasing first tracks thannon some other places. And some really fun steep piste runs. Ischgl après is fab especially Niki's Stadl- there are some slightly sleazy or risqué - depending on your opinion- clubs. But you can choose whether or not to go there. Overall a great place to be whether you are in town or bussing in!!

RichardB, Not long back from Kappl with family and was really impressed with Kappl and very good value. Skied Ischgl one day and thought skiing was excellent. Neighbour went to Filzmoos years ago (I'm talking over 20) and he hated it. Based on that I would head for the Panznaun valley over Filzmoos. We did not manage to get to Galtur because in fairness we were really impressed with teh skiing in Kappl.
If you're going with family you should look into Kappl as I thought it was hard to beat for a family trip. Otherwise as the others say probably better staying close to Ischgl if you want the apres (although not as good as St Anton's IMO)
