Sport climbing in the Paznaun

An outdoor paradise set amidst ancient rock formations

Anyone wanting to go climbing or Bouldering is spoilt for choice in the Paznaun Valley. High above Galtür, at 2,000 m, lies Silvapark – one of Tirol’s best bouldering areas. Especially during the summer months, when it’s very hot in many places, the temperatures here are pleasant for climbing. Bernd Zangerl, Tirol’s ‘bouldering guru’, opened the first boulders here and established Tirol’s most difficult boulder, Anam Cara 8C. There are now around 175 routes of all grades, as well as Austria’s first children’s bouldering area.

But that’s not all: several Via Ferratas/Iron Ways, including one specially designed for families, a bouldering wall in the Alpinarium and two climbing centres near the Jamtaler and Heidelberger Mountain Lodges/Huts round off the climbing opportunities in the Paznaun.

A true paradise, then, for mountaineers, climbing enthusiasts and those who aspire to become one!
