Galzig, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Galzig is a mountain summit at 2,184 meters in the Lechtal Alps that rises above the surrounding Alpine valleys and mountain ranges. The peak forms a natural hub within the ski area and is directly accessible by modern lift systems from St. Anton am Arlberg.

The mountain gained major importance in the 1930s when the first ski lift was installed, laying the foundation for modern winter tourism development in the region. This early infrastructure transformed the area into a key destination for winter sports and shaped St. Anton's development.

The mountain serves as a gathering point for winter sports enthusiasts from around the world and forms the heart of the ski areas surrounding St. Anton. Its role as a central hub has made it a symbol of alpine skiing culture in the region.

The Galzigbahn lift connects the summit with the valley, offering a comfortable way for visitors of any fitness level to reach the elevation. At the top you will find marked hiking trails in different directions, with mountain huts and other peaks within easy reach.

The 2006/07 Galzigbahn uses a Funitel system running on two cables, and its valley station in St. Anton houses a 50-metre-high transmitter mast on the summit. The first lift here, built in 1937, was the Arlberg region's first aerial cableway and was designed specifically for winter operation.
