Galtür

By · Tyrolen, 🇦🇹 Österrike

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.

A car is helpful for the Silvretta road, which is a toll road and runs only in summer. The Paznaun road has hairpins and can close in heavy snow. Winter tyres or chains are required. Motorways in Austria need a vignette.

Mat och dryck

Tyrolean food is hearty. Try Tiroler Gröstl, a pan of potatoes and meat, and Kaspressknödel, cheese dumplings in broth. Mountain huts serve soups and cakes.

Säkerhet och hälsa

Historia

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.
