Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

The Galtür Alpinarium houses informative exhibitions, an indoor climbing wall, a café with sun terrace, an Internet lounge and seminar rooms. In 1999 the major avalanche disaster had especially serious consequences for Galtür. As a result, extensive avalanche protection, in keeping with the most recent technical state of the art, was installed. A central element of the 234 metre long and 19 metre high protective wall is the Galtür Alpinarium. The combination of protective wall and exhibition room makes the architecture of the Alpinarium unique in the entire world. The modern and artistic design of the building interior and the exterior architecture, matched to the natural surroundings, are indeed impressive. Inside the building is a room dedicated to the memory of those who perished on 23 February, 1999. #Aplinarium_Galtur
