Ischgl is without doubt one of the world's snowboarding meccas where the terrain and the attitude of the resort - to 'boarding and to life in general - come just right. This was the location of the first ISF Snowboard Championships held in 1993, and the Snowboard Masters the following season. Three World's Series were staged from '95 to '97 and the Ballantynes Halfpipe Grand Prix in April '98. An FIS Snowboard World Cup was staged again in December '98 and has been scheduled annually. The 'boarders paradise is divided in to four areas with 30 obstacles and there's a permanent 90 metre half pipe. Carving fans can enjoy their own carving slope, served by the Idjoch chair.
