geography
Nauders lies in a high valley that is drained from the Stillebach to the Oberinntal . This high valley is clearly separated from the Upper Inn Valley by the Finstermünz Pass in the north , while the watershed towards the Adige Valley on the Reschen Pass in the south is an easily passable saddle . That is why Nauders is attributed to the Vinschgau , especially in historical contexts . The borders of Austria , Switzerland and Italy meet at the “three-country boundary stone” ( 2180 m ) in the southwest of the municipality . In the adjacent Samnaun valley is the small hamlet of Noggels , which is an exclave of Nauders. The heavily terraced terrain indicates what was once intensive agriculture.
The Black Lake and the Green Lake are southwest of Nauders .
Nauders has road connections to the Austrian Inntal (municipality of Pfunds ) and the Swiss Inntal ( Engadin ) to the Martina / Martinsbruck district of the municipality of Valsot and to the Vinschgau in South Tyrol (Italy).

history
Nauders is located on the Reschenpass (1507 m), over which the Via Claudia Augusta Roman road , which was opened around the year 50 and led from the Roman Empire to Augsburg . Nauders is probably the Roman street station "Inutrium", already drawn in the 2nd century on a map found in Alexandria on the Via Claudia Augusta, and was first mentioned as "Nuders" in the registry of the Benedictine monk Goswins von Marienberg in a document dating from 1149/52 mentioned. In 200 AD, the Roman road - and thus also the Nauders road station - lost its importance, as the Brenner was expanded and fortified by the Romans and as a result the Via Claudia Augusta replaced the most important trade route up to that point. At least since 1300 it was a customs post on this important north-south connection. The town center shows a strong Rhaeto-Romanic influence.
In the 10th century Nauders became one of the dishes of the County of Vinschgau. The Naudersberg court was a high and blood court, the penalties were carried out south of Nauders, where the meadows there are still today called 'Beim Hohen Gricht' . The authority of the caretaker and judge extended from the Lower Engadine to Zernez, over the Reschenpass and to Finstermünz. In his role as a court, Nauders got caught up in the dispute between the Habsburgs and the Engadines . After failing to pay interest to Naudersberg in 1475 on the part of the Engadin, a two-year war arose, which was mainly fought in the fields (so-called Engadin Wars ). However, Naudersberg Castle was also affected. The peace of Basel in 1499 brought peace. The Naudersberg court existed until the division of Tyrol in 1919; the area was then subordinated to the district court in Ried .
When the plague spread across Europe in the 14th century, Nauders was not spared. In 1348 the village was depopulated except for a few inhabitants. In 1609 Nauders was buried in an avalanche, 22 houses were torn away. In 1871 a mudslide ( debris avalanche ) coming from the Gamoar valley caused great damage in the upper village. In 1880 a big fire raged in which burned 83 houses and 72 farm buildings.
Even the Napoleonic era did not pass Nauders without traces. In 1799 the French invaded the village during the Second Coalition War between France , Austria , Prussia and Russia . The consequences were looting, the destruction of the facilities and the destruction of food supplies.
From 1872 to 1881 Franz Senn was pastor in Nauders. A monument is dedicated to the founder of the Alpine Club in the center of the village.
Nauders was part and seat of the judicial district of Nauders until the end of 1920 , which however was dissolved as a result of World War I and added to the judicial district of Ried in Tyrol . Since 1978 the municipality has been part of the Landeck judicial district.

economy
Nauders as a base for haulage traffic has a long tradition in tourism. The reorientation towards winter tourism with the Bergkastel ski area was accompanied by a structural redesign of the village. Today the municipality is a two-season tourist area. It is therefore not surprising that half of all jobs in Nauders are in the hotel and restaurant sector. However, only 30% of all Nauders residents work in this industry.
In summer there are 300 km of marked hiking trails, 700 km of cycle and mountain bike trails and 95 km of marked running paths. The levels of difficulty range from easy valley hiking trails to via ferratas. In addition, there is the Bergkastel cable car and the chair lift, which is open in summer, which make the ascent easier.
In winter there are 90 km of cross-country ski trails, 111 km of ski slopes, 110 cleared winter hiking trails and 70 km of snowshoe trails available. The winter sports offer also includes a halfpipe , two ski schools, three ice rinks, an ice stock rink and 5 toboggan runs, three of which are illuminated and the longest is 8 km long.
