Ischgl is looking for the most beautiful girl in the world and they’re pretty confident they’ll find her as the “Queen of the World” will be elected in the Tyrolean event ski metropolis Ischgl on 13 December.
Beauty queens from 50 countries will present themselves to the jury in the third largest beauty contest in the world.
The Pardorama, a modern construction of steel and glass on the Pardatschgrat, with its terrific views of the mountain panorama, will provide the perfect setting for the beauty contest. Competitors will arrive from Australia to Nigeria, from Korea to Iceland – the most beautiful of the beautiful will present themselves to a celebrity jury in Austria’s highest event centre.
Erich Reindl, founder of “Miss Austria” and organizer of “Miss Germany” and “Miss World” for 20 years now, is an expert regarding Miss contests and, as coorganizer, will guarantee a glamorous event. Queen of the World contests have already taken place in Moscow on the Red Square and on a Boeing 767 from Berlin to Frankfurt.
Tickets are available for 69 euros – including cable car access ticket, buffet and show – from Paznaun – Ischgl Tourist Association or via www.ischgl.com.
