Forecast today: Light snow
- Max temp: -2.6 °c
- Min temp: -9.4 °c
- Last snowed: Mon 09 Dec
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.

Pros 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 06/12
Unsettled conditions will move over Austria this weekend and into the new week, as Storm Darragh moves over the region on its way from the British Isles to the Mediterranean – off for some winter sun, perhaps? As it moves over the Western Alps, it will still impact further east, driving down temperatures and bringing snow over the weekend.
The freezing line will gradually drop from 2,000m at midday on Friday to close to sea level by the middle of next week, dropping daytime temperatures to -3°C at 1,500m. Snow will arrive on Friday and continue steadily until Monday evening, delivering around a foot over this period; mostly across higher ground until the new week begins.
High pressure moves into the region as the week progresses, bringing fine, dry and bright conditions to many.
