The silver smuggler’s circuit in Ischgl

25,0 kilometres of slopes, 4,765 metres difference in altitude, 3,5 hours duration – just like the gold smuggler’s circuit, the silver smuggler’s circuit can be quite the challenge for winter sports athletes. But a challenge that you should definitely take on during your ski holiday at the Silvretta Arena. Because when else do you get a chance to cross the border in the tracks of the smugglers of yore – from Austria all the way over to Switzerland? And all that on skis or a snowboard! 

By the way:
If you master the silver smuggler’s circuit, you not only have the chance to collect some unforgettable holiday memories but also to win some great prizes. Find out more about the competition

Tip:
it’ll take skilled skiers about 3,5 hours to complete the circuit. The best time to start is early in the morning – and there’s multiple reasons for that: You’ll get to enjoy the freshly groomed slopes, but you’ll also have enough time for breaks. There’s plenty of restaurants and huts along the way where you can soak up the sun on the decks and savour the Tyrolean cuisine.
