Galtur is part of the massive Sivretta Arena, with 340 km of slopes, which is great for all levels. It is also linked to the legendary resort of Ischgl that is just a short bus ride away.
Galtur is ideal for beginner skiers and has great nursery slopes on which to learn the ropes. There are also some slightly more challenging slopes that you should be able to progress onto within a couple of days.
Lower intermediates skiers or those who have only skied a couple of times before will find that the 40km of piste on offer in Galturs 'Silvapark' ski area will be more than enough for a weeks skiing as there is a good selection of both blue and red runs. However, those with a bit more skiing experience under their belts will probably want to take advantage of the full area and head down to Ischgl where there is huge selection of runs on offer.
Expert and advanced skiers on holiday in Galtur will enjoy the local slopes for at least the first day of your holiday but there is no doubt that to make the most of the area you will have to purchase the full area lift pass and get the bus down the valley to Ischgl. There is a whole host of advanced skiing on offer in Ischgl and loads of off piste route to be found.
The apres ski scene in Galtur is pretty quite but there are a few bars which are worth checking out, namely: Tommy's Garage, Huberstadl and Der Silbertaler. For those in search of some really lively apres ski you will have to venture down the valley to Ischgl. A lot of people will send that day skiing in Ischgl and then stop for a spot of apres ski before heading back to Galtur on the bus. If you miss the last bus or if you plan on staying in Ischgl through to the earlier hours then there is a 24hr taxi service.
