Silvapark Galtür – your Ski Area in Austria
Silvapark is Galtür's unique winter sport concept. Six sectors offer excellent conditions for skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing.
The Galtür ski area is renowned for its traditional charm. The inhabitants of Galtür have made a conscious decision against mass-tourism in order to maintain a natural and family-friendly ski area in the Austrian Alps. Silvapark is the next stage of this development. With a forward looking concept ski pistes, snow-parks, kids’ areas, cross-country ski-tracks and ski tours have been split into six separate sectors. Particular value has been placed on maintaining nature and the mountain landscape in all of its glory.
From the 2007/2008 winter season onwards Silvapark in Galtür re-presents itself. The "Zwergerlwelt [Kids' World]" and "Abenteuerland [Land of Adventure]" sectors have been designed specifically with Kids in mind. "Actionpark [Action Park]" is directed at youths and sporty adults, and at "Heldenland [Heroes Empire]" practiced freestylers and freeriders are perfectly catered for.
