Inn Valley

(Local Name: Inntal) To the southeast of Seefeld the Innsbruck road descends the Zirler Berg into the Inn valley.

The River Inn flows through the province of Tirol from southwest to northeast for a distance of 230km/145mi, from the Swiss frontier at the Finstermünz gorge to the German frontier at Kufstein. On either side rear up the great mountain massifs of the Samnaun group and the Ötztal Alps, the Lechtal and Stubai Alps, the Karwendel and Kitzbühel Alps. The deeply slashed valley has been a traffic route for more than 2,000 years. The Tirolese capital, Innsbruck, lies at the junction of the Sill and the Inn.
