How to get to Galtur
Getting to Galtur
One of the main attractions of Galtür is that it is a quiet mountain village with an atmosphere of ‘getting away from it all’. Of course, one of the negative sides of that is that it is quite a way from transport hubs, with Innsbruck airport being by far the best option for travellers arriving on a flight.

Driving to Galtur
Getting from Innsbruck Airport to Galtür
Innsbruck is just over 100 kilometres away from Galtür and some of the journey from the airport involves a motorway journey through to the town of Pians and the start of the Paznaun valley. The last 30-odd kilometres up the valley run through the nearby ski resorts of See, Kappl and Ischgl..
Getting from Munich Airport to Galtür
There are various ways to head into Austria from Munich – the easiest and most convenient is to follow the motorway south to Kufstein and then along the Inn valley to Innsbruck (and then follow the directions above from Innsbruck).
Alternatively, drivers who are familiar with southern Bavaria might wish to head through the city and onto the motorway south to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. From Garmisch there is the option of heading into Austria via Mittenwald and Seefeld or via the Fern pass and Imst – in both cases joining up with the Inn valley motorway before taking the turning up to Galtür.
Getting from Friedrichshafen Airport to Galtür
Friedrichshafen is an option, albeit with a more limited choice of flights and a longer journey time than the two choices above. Those arriving at Friedrichshafen will need to skirt the northern shore of Lake Constance before joining the Austrian motorway system through to Feldkirch and into the Arlberg tunnel. From there take the express road down to the junction at Pians before turning back into the Paznaun valley and up to Galtür.
