Galtür

The village of Galtur was once called an ‘Alpine Idyll’ by the writer Hemmingway, and even in the modern day, it’s easy to see why.

The highest ski village in the Silvretta region, Galtur is a more peaceful option than the nearby party town of Ischgl and provides fantastic skiing in the surrounding area.

That skiing is suitable for all levels, with nursery slopes that are perfect for complete beginners, a wide range of intermediate runs for those looking to make the move to the next level and then more challenging terrain that will keep the experts on their toes.

The height of the resort also means that impressive levels of snow can be expected across the season.

With your ski pass including access to Ischgl, you’ll have the opportunity to enhance your winter holiday with time exploring the wider area.

At the end of the day however, the chance to return to the low-key surroundings of the resort is something that will appeal to many who simple want to relax – allowing them to be fully prepared to head back onto the slopes the following the day.
