Ischgl: Westlife at the Top of the Mountain Opening Concert

Start Your Season In Ischgl

The Silvretta Arena Ischgl/Samnaun’s season starts before most, on 26 November 2026, and what’s more, thanks to its high-altitude terrain and extensive snowmaking, it usually has more terrain available from day one than anywhere else.

With modern lifts, wide-open terrain and snow-sure skiing from late November until early May, it’s an effortless way to launch winter. Those booking the Opening Package can fold early‑season skiing together with accommodation, a lift pass and access to special events, creating a seamless start filled with boundless skiing fun.

Westlife at the Top of the Mountain Opening Concert

Two days later, on 28 November 2026, Westlife celebrate their 25th anniversary at the Top of the Mountain Opening Concert. After warming up on the slopes, visitors can settle into an unforgettable evening in the Alps, where the band’s biggest hits echo across the mountains and the atmosphere feels both intimate and electric. It’s a rare blend of skiing and live music that sets Ischgl apart.
