Galtür

Landsby · Tyrol, 🇦🇹 Østerrike

Galtür is a village at the top of the Paznaun valley in western Tyrol, at about 1,600 m. It sits under the Silvretta mountains, close to the border with Vorarlberg, and a high mountain road leads over to Vorarlberg.

Galtür is quieter than neighbouring Ischgl. It suits walkers, ski tourers and families who want snow-sure slopes and open mountain scenery without the party scene.

Historie

Galtür was settled by Walser people from the Valais in the Middle Ages, and the old village still shows their influence. The Silvretta road opened in the 1950s and linked the valley with Vorarlberg. In February 1999 a huge avalanche killed 31 people, and the village built a protective wall and the Alpinarium afterward.
