Galzig: Frequently Asked Questions
Why does every route seem to pass through it?
Galzig sits where the lifts from the village, St. Christoph, Stuben and the Valluga cable cars meet, so the piste map routes most traverses through it.
How do you get up there?
The Galzigbahn Funitel gondola, opened in 2006, runs from St. Anton village to the Galzig station at 2,086 m.
Is it suitable for non-skiers?
Yes. Galzig is reachable by a wheelchair accessible cable car, and the Galzig Restaurant and Verwallstube are also accessible.
How does it compare with Rendl?
Galzig carries the main flow of traffic and the onward Valluga lifts, while Rendl across the valley has six lifts and about 16 runs, so it is the quieter option.
