The top 5 ski resorts for apres ski Austria.
Ischgl
The king of après ski, Ischgl celebrations lift closing like nowhere else on the planet. The party is massive and regular – think every day of the season. There are many resorts where après ski takes place on the mountain and then drifts down to the resort level. Not Ischgl, its resort is rammed with revellers from mid-afternoon onwards with some of the world’s biggest après ski names located around the resort pistes in central Ischgl.
St Anton
Unlike Ischgl, the big après ski action in St Anton takes place on the mountain in iconic hits such as the Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kanguruh. These behemoths of après ski take (literally) thousands of passing skiers and snowboarders and reschedule their evenings. For those who survive the on-mountain carnage, there are bars throughout the resort that open till late.
Sölden
Sölden is a bit of a hybrid of Ischgl and St Anton. A lot of the après ski action happens on the snow but a centre for the party is at Innerwald, a plateau just above the main street and linked by the Dorf Shuttle and ski piste to the resort centre. There are also bars around the base-stations, especially the Giggijoch gondola. Sölden is one of the big beasts of world après ski.
