Austria to Switzerland: Ischgl and Samnaun
Ischgl, in Austria’s Tyrol region, is known for a fizzy après-ski and concert scene that has included performers such as Elton John and Bob Dylan. The area’s piste, Eleven, takes you from Greitspitz, a mountain on the border, to the town of Ischgl. The so-called Smuggler’s Run offers the reverse, a schuss from Austria into Samnaun, Switzerland, where you can shop duty-free. (Both runs have black and red classifications.) The resorts offer a nice range of slopes for beginners to expert. ischgl.com; myswitzerland.com/en/samnaun.html
