Ischgl Resort Restaurants

Ischgl does not lack for gourmet restaurants. Top of the pops is Martin Sieberer at the Trofana Royal. He has two gourmet restaurants at the hotel. The Trofana Royal’s Paznaunerstube has four Gault Millau toques, and his Heimatbühne, which offers staple old-school Austrian cuisine, has two Gault Millau toques. The YSCLA showcases the cooking of talented Benjamin Parth who has four toques and one star. There are four other gastronomic kitchens to be reckoned with in Ischgl. The Stiar restaurant in the Sporthotel Silvretta, the Schlossherrnstube in Schlosshotel Ischgl, Fliana Gourmet in Hotel Fliana, and the sushi restaurant Lucy Wang. Meanwhile, lower down the price scale, Salz & Pfeffer is the place to find tasty pizza and pasta dishes in modern surroundings.

Ischgl Mountain Restaurants

Pardorama is a three-storey glass and steel building at the top of the shiny new Paratschgratbahn gondola and houses both a self-service and a table-service restaurant. It has high ceilings, glass walls and stunning views. The Vider Alp is an alpine hut with a modern flavour. Restaurant Idalp Panorama is at the top of the Silvrettabahn and is Tirolean style, with lots of pine and red tablecloths.Alpenhaus is home to the VIP Lounge, where Alpine style is mixed with a sophisticated design featuring cow skin, wood, glass and an open fire. Bodenalpe, in the Fimbatal area, serves large portions of home-grown produce. Paznauner Thaya is a rustic place with table service upstairs, and a terrace with DJs and live bands. Downstairs is a cosy self-service with a good choice of food. Alp Trida Sattel is set on a ledge with fabulous views over the Swiss border. We ecommend pre-boooking tables for lunch on the mountain.

Ischgl Apres Ski

Ischgl is one of the liveliest resorts in the Alps. It's all about dancing in your ski boots from early afternoon to late evening! The action starts at the heated ice bar of the Madlein. It’s the largest of its kind in the Alps and is the place for people-watching. Then from around 4pm, the spectacle revolves around a wide choice of venues. There’s also the ski-in Schatzi Bar beneath the Hotel Elizabeth at the foot of the main home run. The large and rustic Kuhstall at The Sporthotel Silvrette receives rave reviews. Across the road is Feuer & Eis, where a resident DJ plays to revellers. Meanwhile, the two-storey Trofana Alm next to the five-star Hotel Trofana Royal, is full almost every evening before dinner and spectacularly good-natured. Most of the playlist these days is either German or Austrian. For something a little left field head to Nikis Stadl. The music is cheesy but great fun. Cheaper and non-Germanic is The Golden Eagle Pub which plays British music. The club in the basement of the Champagnerhütte is called the Champagne Club. Apres-ski takes place here between 3pm and 9pm, with the nightclub starting up immediately afterwards and running until 4am.

Ischgl Nightlife

Guxa and Allegra liven up after dinner whilst the Golden Eagle continues on the resorts live music antics. The Coyote Ugly at the Hotel Madlein is a lap dancing bar which just avoids being seedy. There is also a branch of the Pascha nightclubs. The Living Room in Hotel Grillalm is another lap dancing venue. There is a club under the Hotel Post with an ancient Roman theme. There is also a casino at the Post.
