While Galtür is surrounded by more than 80 mountains that reach peaks of 3,000 metres, the hiking area is also so expansive that it offers the perfect routes for every expectation.

The fact that Galtür is located at the high altitude of 1,600 metres makes the season somewhat shorter than in other areas, however, the mountain summers are all the more enchanting. Cabins and alpine meadow stops are usually open from end June through early October depending on the snow conditions.
