Paznauntal (1050m - 2690m)

Paznauntal , Samnaun and Verwall, the Austrian Alps Villages situated to the east and west of the Ischgl resort attract those who do not want to miss the beauty of the Silvretta massif but at the same time want to escape from the crowds of skiers in the buzzing Ischgl. Paznauntal Valley stretches some 40 kilometers among the hills of Silvretta, Verwall and Samnaun, with twenty-five peaks over 3,000 meters in its vicinity. During summer the Silvretta alpine road is passable, however, in the prime time of the skiing season it ends in the Valley of Galtür, a climatic spa that offers 40 kilometers of runs and many more of well-groomed cross country skiing trails in a ravishing neighborhood. Kappl, the biggest resort of this area, offers both gentle slopes for beginners and challenging FIS runs. This cute village provides reasonably priced accommodation and as spectacular scenery as the adjacent Ischgl. Closest to the main roads is the third village, See, situated under the crest of Medrigkopf (2,568m). One common pass that covers all the ski resorts of Paznauntal and Ischgl/Samnaun will help you to discover the splendor of the Paznauntal Valley comfortably. While Ischgl appeals to the keen skiers, charming and pleasant Kappl is ideal for families with children. There are night sleigh contests twice a week during winter and the organizers keep coming up with new and exciting ideas every year.
