Forecast today: Snow
- Max temp: 0.6 °c
- Min temp: -4.4 °c
- Last snowed: Sun 26 Jan
For some the 43km of local slopes may prove somewhat limited,
but the snowsure ski area is varied and Ischgl is just a quick, free bus ride away if you’re looking for more extensive slopes.
Although some good tough terrain can be found off the Breitspitzbahn gondola, the resort really markets itself as a family friendly ski area – there is a great beginner zone at the base and six specific fun areas aimed at families further up the hill.
Galtür is usually home to some of Austria’s most reliable early season snow.

AdvancedPros and cons
- Snowsure ski area
- Great facilities for families and lots to do off the slopes
- Good value accommodation – a good alternative base to its expensive neighbour Ischgl
- Limited local slopes
- Runs above the treeline so can be bleak in bad weather
- Quiet village with no Ischgl-style après
On the Slopes
Galtür’s slopes only cover 43km, but within that there is some good variety and all can accessed by fast lifts. The beginner zone at the base of the mountain is excellent and in the form of the six “Adventure Land” features across the mountain, progression for young ones on to fun and longer runs is very good.
Early intermediates will enjoy the local slopes, but keener skiers and boarders will want to make sure they catch the bus to Ischgl and explore the vast network of blues and reds there.
For advanced skiers and riders head over to the Breitspitzbahn or bring your touring gear – Galtür acts as a perfect springboard to some of the region’s best and most accessible ski touring.
In the Resort
Galtür is a charming peaceful traditional village at the head of the valley near Ischgl. Sunnier, cheaper and much quieter than it’s larger neighbour, Galtür matches the image you have of a traditional Austrian village. It serves as a good base for a quiet family holiday or mixed-ability groups – and the free buses to Ischgl are regular and quick.
Off the slopes there is loads to do and a big network of scenic winter walking trails and cross country tracks is a major attraction. This, combined with an excellent sports centre make it an attractive base for families and mixed groups that contain non-skiers.

Austria
Updated 24/01
Western Austrian will benefit from unsettled conditions moving across the northwestern corner of the UK and Ireland towards the end of this weekend, with snowfall due for many areas. Around 10cm will come down Sunday and Monday, but this will pick up to around a foot over Tuesday and Wednesday.
Initially this will be limited to higher ground as the freezing line remains around 2,000m across the weekend and into the start of the new week. This does fall as Tuesday and Wednesday’s snowfall arrives, dropping down to 1,000m, meaning this snowfall reaches up and down the mountain.
Eastern Austria will see a similar pattern, albeit with more limited snowfall; as the freezing line in this part of the world remains high at 2,000m, later in the week snowfall won’t reach down the hill in quite the same way.
