Exhibitions at the Alpinarium in Galtür, Tyrol

The Galtür Alpinarium has been showing the “Avalanche” exhibition since 19th June 2004 .

In memory of the 31 victims of the avalanche accident in Galtür in 1999, a record of the events of that year is on display. The exhibition also provides information and increases awareness about what it is like to live in the Alps; conveying the fascination and dangers of snow, yet also a basic understanding. It also reminds people of the second avalanche to hit Galtür (the “media avalanche”), and shows what lessons were learnt from the 1999 avalanche – improved communication, natural hazard management and avalanche protection. There’s an opportunity within every crisis!
