The seat of the municipality is in Mitterpèrg, at 1127  m slm in the district of Innervlarötz (it. San Felice ), which together with Ausservlarötz (it. San Francesco ) in Auserperg form the two fractions of the municipality.

Multilingualism in school

Since 1918, Italian was the only language of instruction in schools in the Fersental. With the recognition as a minority language, both the heel-tongue and the written German regained importance. In the elementary school in Florutz, dialect has been offered as a compulsory subject from the first grade for several years. In addition, this is the only school in Trentino to date that has two teaching languages ​​- initially on a trial basis: Italian and German. A study in 2009 showed that children with knowledge of the dialect had considerable advantages in German-language lessons over previous monolingual Italian classmates.
