The best après ski bars and clubs
Ischgl's nightlife is as legendary as its skiing. Après ski kicks off at Niki's Stadl by the Pardatschgrat chair, the Trofana Alm, classic Tyrolean decor, sing-alongs, dances and waiters with trays of beers. Schatzi Bar has traditional bar top dancing girls and more modern music. Also try Romantik Hütte at the bottom of the toboggan run and the Eisbar in St Elisabeth Hotel's.
The Kuhstahl opposite the Silvretta lift often warms up a little later and keeps going till 3am, they play more English music and generally has a younger crowd.
Later in the evening, head for Guxa, Hotel Madlein's Wonder Bar and Fire & Ice for cocktails or the Golden Eagle Pub if you're craving English beer.
Finally, for late-night dancing, head to the up-market Trofana Arena nightclub, or Pacha.
