Valzur

Located at 1501 meters elevation, Valzur consists of residential buildings surrounded by alpine meadows at the edge of dense forest near Ischgl.

The settlement originally comprised two sections, Obervalzur and Untervalzur, until a massive avalanche in 1999 destroyed the lower section, causing seven casualties.

The Lourdeskapelle, constructed in 1897 by Pastor Schranz, stands as a religious center with its bronze-tin bell added during the 1951 renovation.

A free ski bus connects Valzur to Ischgl's center, providing access to 228 kilometers of ski trails and 45 lifts in the Silvretta-Arena.

Following the 1999 avalanche, the destroyed houses of Untervalzur were rebuilt in protected areas of Obervalzur, with seven crosses marking the tragic event.
