Ischgl ski resort, Austria Live Cam

The ski area above Ischgl carries on over the ridge into Switzerland, in the Paznaun valley of Tyrol in Austria. The camera looks over the pistes with the height and wind data on screen.

The village on the far side is Samnaun, a Swiss customs enclave: too awkward to reach from Switzerland when the rules were written, it was left outside the customs area and has been duty-free ever since. Skiers cross the ridge to buy things and cross back.

Ischgl works about 240 kilometres of pistes and almost all of it lies above 2,000 metres, which is why the season runs into May. The concerts staged on the mountain at either end of it are as well known as the skiing.
