Bouldering at
Silvapark Galtür

Silvapark is located above Galtür at the foot of Ballunspitze in the Silvretta mountain range at  1,800 metres above sea level. The boulders are spread across a alpine landscape with several clearly defined sectors. Its high-alpine setting makes the area not only a sporting hotspot but also a visually striking natural environment.

With over 445 boulder problems across 14 sectors, Silvapark is one of the largest bouldering areas in the Alps. The sectors are organised by theme and difficulty, making it easy to find suitable routes depending on ability and preference.

The easiest way to access the area is via the Alpkogel cable car, which operates during the summer months. From the top station, the first sectors can be reached within a short walk. Alternatively, it is possible to hike up, although this requires more time and physical effort.

The main season is during the summer months when the trails are snow-free and the cable car is in operation. Thanks to the altitude, temperatures remain pleasantly cool even on warmer days. Early mornings and late afternoons often offer the best climbing conditions.

Silvapark is designed to cater for all levels. Beginners will find well-structured sectors with easier routes and good landing zones, while more experienced climbers can choose from a wide range of technically and physically demanding problems. Families also benefit from the accessible layout and the variety of suitable areas.

The range extends from very easy entry-level problems to extremely challenging routes at the highest grades. This makes the area ideal for both beginners and advanced climbers. Renowned lines such as “Anam Cara” (8c) set a real challenge even for highly experienced boulderers.

Yes, there are ample free parking spaces at the valley station of the Alpkogel cable car, providing a convenient starting point for your visit.

Yes, there are several rental options in Galtür. Climbing shoes and crash pads can be hired easily, making it ideal for visitors without their own equipment or those planning a spontaneous session. Rental shops are located in the village centre and in Wirl.

Previous experience is helpful but not essential. Beginners can ease into the sport on easier routes and gradually build confidence. However, it is recommended to familiarise yourself with basic safety principles or gain initial experience in an indoor climbing gym beforehand.
