Ischgl opened the 2014/2015 winter season with good snow conditions and the spectacular Top of the Mountain Concert with James Blunt.

Ischgl kicked off the 2014/2015 ski season with excellent piste conditions and a concert by megastar James Blunt. 17,000 winter sports enthusiasts were able to carve their way into the Silvretta Arena for the season opening: "Skiing in Ischgl is already fun thanks to the altitude of almost 3,000 metres. In recent weeks, we have benefited from precipitation from the south in particular and can therefore offer our guests great conditions," says Andreas Steibl from the Paznaun-Ischgl tourist board. Skiers celebrated the perfect ski day with bright blue skies and plenty of sunshine on Saturday evening with British superstar James Blunt. With his ukulele, he presented a spectacular show of pure emotion and feel-good songs such as "Postcards" and "Bonfire Heart" from his latest album Moon Landing.

The atmosphere reached its absolute peak when James Blunt brought the audience to the boil by jumping into the crowd. As a keen skier, he also took a look at the ski resort before his concert and was delighted with the perfect snow conditions: "It's an incredible feeling to be able to open the ski season here in Ischgl. I wish I had the time to make a few turns. The slopes look fantastic."

Opening of the ski season with a world record

The slopes up to Samnaun in Switzerland have been open since Thursday 27 November 2014. At the same time, the new 3-S Pardatschgratbahn went into operation, transporting winter sports enthusiasts directly from the village centre to the 2,624-metre-high Pardatschgrat in less than ten minutes. At 1,251 metres in altitude, the wind-stable tricable gondola lift covers the greatest difference in altitude in the world. The Ischgl ski resort offers winter sports enthusiasts the best conditions on 238 kilometres of pistes until the beginning of May 2015.
