Galtur is upmarket and pretty refined / quiet in the evenings but this is still no French purpose built graveyard, there are a couple of lively bars. Prices can be slightly higher than other resorts

GALTUR SKI HOLIDAYS

Galtur offers one of the higher ski holiday resort elevations in Austria, at close to 1600m. The Paznaun valley that Galtur occupies one end of is famed for its snow accumulation. Galtur shares the valley with one of the most famous ski holiday resorts in the world – Ischgl. A ski pass covers both resorts as well as the resorts of See and Kappl, further down the valley. The ski area at Galtur is compact but has some excellent trails with a real wilderness feel. Galtur is popular with families and there is an extensive beginners area right on the edge of the resort. Galtur is a low rise and charming resort although the location is dramatic and isolated at the head of the valley. In poor weather the area can be bleak to say the least.

GALTUR SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The skiing in Galtur is both compact and limited to beginners and intermediate skiers and boarders. There is little on piste to test the better skiers or boarders although the height and location of Galtur ensures that there is often some impressive off-piste skiing on offer.

Galtür is good for families and intermediate skiers. I liked the "ride to the lake". As they have a lake at the Kopseelifte, the piste seems to end where the lake begins and this creates a great at atmosphere. But the rest of the pistes is not that challenging. So especially intermediates and families with children will enjoy it there.

The Weiberhimmel is very popular and known even outside from Tirol and Austria. I have already had really great Apres Ski fun there.
