Lovely smart but friendly hotel in Galtur. Staff were lovely. Food was amazing prob best i have ever seen in a hotel, perfect. Plenty choices for breakfast, nice little bar area too for evenings. (bar about 5 euro a pint) Had a few meals in day in the restaurant next to slopes too, again excellent. Rooms lovely nice views, (i had a single it was fine) modern, quiet and warm. Took a travel kettle for room, and firestick for tv as no British channels. Hotel spa nice pool and hot tub but downstairs area with relaxation area, steam rooms and sauna's was no clothing allowed not even swim wear .........so i gave it a miss, very odd ! Ski area and Galtur a gem, good snow, very quiet, big enough area for a days ski, hotel is set right on main slopes, nice and easy. Bit of a 10 min trek to get up and down to bus stop for Ischgl, (regular and on time) but again great ski area worth the trek, varied and quite a big area, Smugglers run was fun.... bus is about 15 mins, easy really, just the walk up to the hotel on return the only hard bit after a days ski ing ! Another hidden gem i found was Kappl, (inc on lift pass) 30 mins down valley on same free buses, easy trip, well worth a day there, piste's empty, runs to yourself, good snow, enough for a days ski, very pretty place. Overall superb, glad i picked Galtur over Ischgl, as i wanted a quiet base and Galtur and Hotel Almhof perfect. Top tips, if you get back from Ischgl a bit earlier, you can get the ski school travelator up the slope half way to the hotel ! (closes around 4.30 to 5pm i think, ask when you pass on way down best) Don't miss out Galtur's ski area or Kappl, as both great, i spent two of my 6 days there, lovely views and quiet runs. (no lift queues) ENJOY !!!!! Mid March ski trip.
