In addition to skiing, snowboarding, winter walking, and sledding, Ischgl hosts many major events, including the Top of the Mountain Season Opening Concert.  Spend Thanksgiving Saturday skiing and riding this mega resort with up to 239 kilometers of slopes, including runs up to 11 kilometers in length on both sides of the Swiss/Austrian border and when the lifts close for the night, just make your way across the street to an open air performance by British pop-princess Ellie Goulding. Your lift pass is your concert ticket, so you won’t have to  worry about getting into the show. 

Every season opener at Ischgl is a once in a lifetime experience. Spaces on this popular event are extremely limited. Adventures begin here!
