Galtür - Silvretta Reviews, Ratings and Stats

Galtur is my all time favourite ski resort! Partly because its part of the Paznaun valley, and so you are really getting 4 resorts in one (Galtur, Ischgl, Kappl, See) and the ski busses are fantastic so it is so easy to get around. Out of the four, Galtur is my preference - it is quiet, got lots of interesting terrain, and has a good number of huts which are all of a good standard. In fact, Weiberhimml hut in Galtur is probably my favourite mountain hut out of all (and Ive been to a lot!). The run on the right hand side of the Kopsee T-Bar is one of my favourite ever runs. Its not at all challenging but it is almost always empty and when there is fresh powder its magical. I have always said Galtur is my favourite place to ski, so much so that my fiancé actually proposed to me there, by the Alpkogelbahn top lift station, with the Ballunspitze in the background!

Galtur is a small friendly resorts with a good mix of slopes. Good for beginners and intermediates but limited for experts. An excellent bus service will take you to Ischgl, Kappl and See so if you have the area wide ski pass you can enjoy four different resorts. Apres ski is limited in Galtur. There is great walking and cross country skiing in the area as well.

I hadn't been skiing in 38 years, however after a significant life event I decided to go and see if I could get back out there and reignite my skiing passion again. Not only did it give me a buzz for skiing again, I enjoyed it so much I'm going back again this February. I took some refresher skiing lessons which were needed but also taught by a very knowledgeable and professional instructor. I met some amazing people, who I'll be meeting again when I go back in February. The resort was really good quality, the areas to ski were aimed at all levels. Everything just went well, so well I only fell 3 times, so pretty happy with that result after 38 years. Ten out of ten, would definitely recommend.
