Forecast today: Clear skies
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.
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.
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’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.
Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.
A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
