Orientation and safety in the ski resort Ischgl/Samnaun – Silvretta Arena

Trail map and overview maps

The piste map provides a very clear overview of the cross-border ski resort of Ischgl and Samnaun. It shows all slopes, lifts, elevations and restaurants. There is also a separate piste map for the ‘Schmugglerrunden’ (smugglers’ circuits). It includes information about ski schools, events, hiking paths, toboggan runs and ski pass prices. The entire Paznaun Valley is also shown on a piste map.

Information boards and sign-postings on the slopes

Uniform panorama boards with 6 metre long LED signs are located throughout the ski resort. These illuminated signs are easily recognisable in all weather conditions, even from a distance. In particular, on stormy days or in the event of a sudden change in the weather, they provide skiers with quick and accurate information. All slopes are signposted and it is very easy to find your way in the ski resort. In the 2016/2017 season, a new slope guidance system was introduced at over 100 locations. There are separate piste maps and signposting for the ‘Schmugglerrunden’ (smugglers’ circuits). All lifts uniformly display technical data. There is an information point on the Idalp where staff are available to answer questions.
