Galtur Attractions

At the end of the Silvretta Road, in the upper Paznaun valley, lies Galtür (1,584m/5,197ft; pop. 700), a winter sports resort noted for its excellent snow accumulation and numerous lifts. Note the fine Baroque church (17th-18th C.) with a Gothic Madonna and Roccoco altars. A road proceeds southward for 5km/3mi through the Jamtal to the Scheibenalm (1,833m/6,014ft), from which it is a two hours' climb to the Jamtalhütte (2,165m/7,103ft; accommodation), magnificently situated below the Jamtalferner (glacier). To the east of the hut towers the Fluchthorn (3,399m/11,152ft), the second highest peak in the Silvretta group.
