Air quality & climate
Air quality and climate in Galtür Why bother to praise ourselves when the official testing authorities and offices do it for us? Quotations from official air and climate surveys in Galtür:
“(...) Results of air measurements taken over several periods, especially regarding levels of sulphur, (airborne) dust, nitrogen monoxide, carbon monoxide and ozone, show above average air quality. (...)”
[Survey by the Tyrolean state forestry office]
“(...) Cloud levels in late autumn and winter are more favourable than in low-lying areas, making long misty periods seldom. Galtür’s altitude of 1,600 metres above see level and rising to 3,000 metres, can be described as outstanding with regard to air temperature and humidity. (...)
In the winter months, it is seldom extremely cold in the valleys and it is never very hot and humid in summer. As far as wind is concerned, the local wind circulation ensures that long periods of air stagnation do not occur. Being an Alpine area, rainfall is moderate; for this reason extreme dustfall is seldom. (...)”

“(...) Based on the results of the evaluation, it has been established that the requirements placed on a health resort are fulfilled due to the good air quality, the favourable climatic circumstances and other accompanying conditions. (...)
Experience shows that these circumstances are especially favourable for respiratory illnesses. Galtür can be recommended as a resort for allergen elimination for those suffering from allergic respiratory illnesses, above all, from the second half of June onwards; this effect can also be achieved earlier with excursions above the forest line. Galtür is free of house dust mites, due to the altitude. Because atopic illnesses are frequently connected to respiratory illnesses, it is also intended to offer dietary treatments, under medical supervision, for digestive tract allergies. It is also certain that, to a great extent, favourable climatic conditions together with intact nature have positive effects on both physical and psychological well-being, therefore helping to maintain good health.
