15. Winterwanderweg Galtür-Wirl

Moderately difficult winter hike from Galtür to Wirl

The winter hiking trail between Galtür and Wirl requires medium strong fitness with its 4 km and gentle climbs. Start off at the Galtür football pitch. The trail leads across flat terrain along the Vermunt stream and into the valley, until you get to Wirl district and the lower terminus of the Birkhahnbahn cable car.

Experience the snow-covered scenery in Galtür, the highest located township in Paznaun, at just below 1,600 m and sheltered by the soaring mountains of the Silvretta Group. Numerous 3,000-metre peaks are within touching distance here and the scenery is shaped by the prominent peaks . Galtür means „Experiencing high alpine winter sports!“

This tour is especially recommendable on Wednesday evenings when the lights of the night-time skiing light up the Silvapark.

The autoroute (A12 (westbound) or A14 (eastbound)) leads you to the Arlbergschnellstraße (S 16). At the exit for Pians, turn onto the Paznauntalstraße (B 188) and follow its course into the Paznaun.

Car park Arzthaus Galtür

With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley. Bus stop: Galtür Dorfplatz
