Galtür

The village sits at an elevation of 1584 meters in the western Tyrol region, surrounded by mountain peaks and ski slopes.

During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement experienced severe destruction, with many buildings and the local church reduced to ashes.

The population descends from three distinct groups: Romansh people from Engadin, Walser people from Vorarlberg, and Bavarian-Tirolean settlers.

The Silvapark ski area provides 40 kilometers of groomed slopes with ten mountain railways connecting different sections of the resort.

Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger spent time in this mountain village, drawn by its pure alpine air at 1600 meters elevation.
