Ski Austria

Ski Austria



Ischgl


In a country known for partying as hard as it skis, Ischgl’s a snow-bound Ibiza which eclipses not just Austria’s other apr?s-ski destinations but those across the rest of the world. But it’s no one-trick pony – there’s great skiing to be had as well, for those with stamina.

Because I did diving in red sea, and was in underwater observatory in Eilat, Israel, I didn't see something new. But it is nice when you can touch sea animals.
