The Silvretta area was one of the earliest in Austria to embrace snowboarding, hosting the European Cup in 1991. Galtür has a fun park of its own and a good number of 'boarder friendly' chair lifts. However for added action experienced 'boarders will undoubtedly want to spend some time down in Ischgl to increase their enjoyment of all that Silvretta has to offer. This also includes a snow park with half pipe in Kappl and at Samnaun, over in Switzerland, one of the largest snowboard parks in Europe, incorporating a 90 metre half pipe.
