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 04/02
Continuing fine, dry and bright conditions can be expected across the Austrian Alps throughout this week as high pressure remains camped out above the continent. Some cloud cover will pass as the week continues, with almost unmitigated sunshine on Thursday and Friday.
The freezing line will be incredibly predictable throughout this period – dropping to around 1,500m overnight but climbing to 2,200m during the midday sun. This will bring temperatures of about +1°C during the day and -5°C overnight at 2,000m.
More unstable weather is expected to move in as the new week begins, bringing with it some snow. Temperatures are so far expected to remain as they were, but may well rise alongside this, however, so expect much needed relief to be limited to higher ground.
