A Word about this Destination...
Ischgl is the largest ski resort in Austria, situated on the border of Switzerland. Well known in Europe for the apres-ski scene, this can be easily avoided if you're no longer a 22 year-old frat boy or girl (or whatever the Austrian equivalent of that would be). The resort is really buried in the Tirolean Alps - here I feel very far away from everything. From the top of one of the peaks you can see the snow-covered Swiss Alps stretch out for as far as the eye can see. Fantastic!
Foodwise, some interesting Austrian Alpine specialties: Knodel (dumplings) are a big favorite and are often served drowning in English cream. You also find Almdudler (similar to the Swiss Rivella) which is like an elderflower gingerale. Their tag line is: If there isn't Almdudler, I'm going home!
