Austrian 'Ibiza of the alps' vows to ditch party tourism after Covid-19 lockdown

Ski resort that became European coronavirus hotspot plans to switch to a more 'upmarket apres-ski culture'

The Alpine ski resort of Ischgl, at the centre of Austria's biggest cluster of coronavirus infections, has said it wants to move away from "party tourism" as it emerged from more than a month under quarantine.

Ischgl is near the point where Austria, Italy and Switzerland meet and has described itself as the "Ibiza of the Alps". It is now clear that more than 800 cases spread across Austria can be traced back to the resort and the surrounding Paznaun valley.
