Alpinarium Galtür
On a rainy day in Galtür, the Alpinarium is one of the region’s most interesting cultural attractions. The building forms part of the village’s protective wall, while its exhibitions explore Galtür, life in the high mountains and the avalanche disaster of 1999. An indoor bouldering wall and other activities also make it an interesting option for families and active visitors.
Indoor tennis & squash in Ischgl
There are plenty of ways to stay active in Ischgl when it rains too. The tennis centre has four indoor courts for matches whatever the weather. The sports facilities also include a modern squash court. If you have a particular time in mind, it is best to reserve your court online in advance.
Almmuseum at Alpe Dias
If the weather is changeable, the Almmuseum on Alpe Dias in Kappl is also worth a visit. Original settings, films and stories offer an insight into life on the mountain pasture in days gone by and traditional activities such as making butter and cheese. As getting there involves a short stretch outdoors, the museum is particularly suitable for days with brief showers and dry spells in between.

Rainy weather often creates space for experiences that can get overlooked on sunny days. Depending on the season, creative workshops, culinary tastings and relaxing yoga sessions offer different ways to get involved, enjoy yourself and unwind.
