A quieter choice than neighbouring Ischgl, none-the-less it's possible to find plenty going on in Galtür if you know where to look! First enjoy the après-ski in the cosy atmosphere of the Weiberhimml ski hut is the meeting point for old and young, from there you may ski back to the valley under floodlighting. Straight after the lifts close the après-ski at the Huber's Stadl (Alpenromantikhotel Wirlerhof) starts to take off, or alternatively the Almhof-Tenne (Hotel Almhof) and the Platzli (Hotel Rössle) are also popular. Later on there's more happening at the Pyramide (Hotel Luggi) and at Tommy's Garage.
For all action nightlife take one of the late afternoon or early evening buses over to Ischgl for a bigger choice of bars or restaurants and greater numbers of "party types" from the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. Bear in mind however that outside skiing hours the bus service is limited and you are likely to need a taxi back. Back in Galtür, there are seven late night spots: Hubers Stadl, Bierkessel, Postillion, Pyramide, S'Platzli, Almhof Tenne and Tommy's Garage. If you fancy something different before you reach them, try a traditional Tirolean Zither music evening, or a traditional Tirolean bowling evening (more skittles than 10 pin) or the floodlit toboggan run or barrel stove race course - the common factor in all being a lot of good clean fun!
Every Sunday the ski school performs "under the lights", where it's important not to forget the Glühwein. The ski school and Tourist Office also occasionally organise events such as open air parties, often with big-name entertainers, at Eastertime and at the end of the season, as well as special balls and dances.
