Galtür is expanding its family options in winter 2016/17: The new project "Playground Snow" playfully inspires children from 3 to 7 years old to move around in the snow and also teaches skiing without them even noticing it. Also new in 2016/17: The cabin lift "Breitspitzbahn" and three additional kilometres of slopes.
Skiing lessons for small children a different way: With "Playground Snow", Galtür, together with other skiing schools in Tirol specialising in families, has developed an innovative course concept especially for children of preschool age. The pedagogical concept 'Siggi's Snow Hero Week" is optimally geared to meet the requirements of the young skiers. And in groups of up to eight children, the ski instructors ensure a diverse programme which with various forms of play and exercise, with and without Siggi the mascot, conveys lots of fun moving around in the snow. And very much in passing – skiing techniques are also learnt. The five-day course costs 203 Euro at the ski school Silvretta Galtür. Info: www.schischule-galtuer.at. New in the ski area "Silvapark Galtü": The cabin lift "Breitspitzbahn" replaces the old two-seat chairlift on the Breitspitze, adding an additional three kilometres of slopes to the ski area.
New skiing concept for snow bunnies
Practising and unending repetitions are so yesterday. With the new project "Playground Snow", the skiing school Galtür starts its somewhat different small children's skiing course. Here, group dynamics, coordinative exercises, plenty of variety and experiencing your body playfully promote the enthusiasm of the three to seven-year-olds, thus unknowingly boosting learning success. Be it an Indians and Cowboys party, treasure hunt or Lauser-photo shoot - the kids will experience exciting adventures in the snow with Siggi the mascot and a certified ski instructor under the motto "Siggi's Snow Hero Week". Learning braking technique and cornering happens in passing like child's play. After four eventful days in the snow, the little ones can demonstrate their skills on skis during the last day’s race. During the course, parents can watch their offspring from the parents' stand. The five-day small children's skiing course runs daily from 9:45 to 11:45 and 13:45 to 15:45 and costs 203 Euro per child at the skiing school Galtür. Savings tip: If both parents rent their gear from the ski rental outlet in Galtür, the children will get their skiing gear for free for the same period.
New Breitspitzbahn cabin lift in the Silvapark Galtür
Holidaymakers to Galtür can look forward to a new level of comfortability in the ski area "Silvapark Galtür" this winter. With the start of the winter season 2016/17, the new 10-seat "Breitspitzbahn" replaces the old 2-seat chairlift and comfortably ferries winter sports fans from the lower terminus at the dam wall of the Kops reservoir at 1,770 metres altitude up to the new upper terminus at 2,295 metres altitude in just 5 minutes. This re- and new construction has added another three kilometres of slopes to the ski area.
With this, the diverse ski area with 43 kilometres of slopes and 10 lifts provides optimal conditions for discerning skiing families: The sectioning of the ski slopes, snow parks, children's areas, cross-country ski tracks and ski tours into six sectors makes it easy for all family members to find their individual bliss on the slopes. The sectors "Midget World" and "Adventureland" are intended specially for the kids. The "Actionpark" is aimed at youth and sports-loving adults. In the "Heroes' Land" experienced freestylers and free riders will feel right at home. In the "Piste Paradise", sports fans will find optimal conditions for alpine skiing and snowboarding racing. Finally, in the sector "High & Nordic", a wide range of ski tours into the alpine mountains as well as numerous cross-country ski tracks are represented.
