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.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 02/05

The weekend starts mild across the region, with the freezing line ticking up to 4,000m. This sits under a layer of cloud cover, which will bring with it precipitation; this will fall as snow in many areas, as the freezing line drops from this peak as low as 1,500m over the course of the weekend.

Western areas will see around 12cm of snow, with easterly and southern areas seeing perhaps a foot on Monday along, with another 10cm before and after. This will remain across higher ground, as the freezing line doesn’t dip below 2,000m during this snowy period.

Unsettled conditions continue over the course of this week, with more snow on the way in parts.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
