Climbing and bouldering in Galtür

Galtür is a hotspot for fans of climbing and bouldering. If you’re looking for an active holiday full of unforgettable mountain adventures, the Alpine region around Galtür is just the place for you. After all, the holiday resort boasts countless bouldering spots and many other (sports) climbing offers for all difficulty levels. 

Via ferrata, bouldering rock or high-rope course – discover nature from a different perspective! Fans of indoor climbing should drop by at the Alpinarium’s great boulder hall.

Climbing always involves the use of belay ropes. In addition to professional climbing equipment, you need an experienced partner to hold the safety rope. This makes it possible to reach great heights on outdoor multi-pitch routes. By contrast, bouldering refers to “climbing at jumping height” without ropes. A crash pad on the ground cushions the impact of falls. All you need for bouldering are climbing shoes and a bit of chalk for a better grip.

The end of the hiking trail is the beginning of your climbing adventure. Secured by a rope, exposed trails take you up to the summit. The Alpine mountains of the Silvretta range offer perfect conditions for an eventful day of climbing – including breathtaking views!
