The Mátra Association established a hostel here in 1894 and an andesite watchtower was erected on the Péter-hegyese mountain to the east of the Galya-tető in 1934. The hostel ruined and a new luxury hotel was built under the Péter-hegyese watchtower in 1939. The Church of Patrona Hungariae built on the Galya-tető in 1941. Galya-tető was annexed to Mátraszentimre in 1948. The importance of tourism increased in the 1960s and hotels and ski slopes were built here. The observatory was built on the Piszkés-tető mountain in 1960, what is west from Galya-tető and has been open to visitors since 2013. However the ski slopes are unusable already, but the watchtower renewed in 2015 and a new hostel was established. The new hostel is the stamping place of the National Blue Trail.[5][6]
