The Stanzer Tal , also Stanzertal , is a western side valley of the Upper Inn Valley in Tyrol . It represents a spatial planning region of Tyrol ( planning association ), as a tourism region the municipalities of the valley St. Anton am Arlberg call themselves after the well-known winter sports resort.
geography
Location and landscape
The Stanzertal leads in an east-west direction from the eponymous Stanz near Landeck , where it flows into the valley basin of Landeck , to St. Anton am Arlberg . It is the straight continuation of the Inn Valley to the west. It is traversed by the middle and lower Rosanna , which joins the Trisanna from the Paznaun Valley to the Sanna between Strengen and Tobadill / Pians and flows into the Inn in Landeck . In the upper reaches to Schnann , the Stanzer Tal has a comparatively wide valley floor, where the inflowing streams have raised alluvial cones . Below is a narrow notched valley with steep slopes, into which Rosanna and Sanna have cut deep. The settlements are there on the northern slopes or further towards Landeck on the northern terraces .
The valley is often threatened by natural hazards such as avalanches and mudslides due to the steep slopes and flowing ditches; the last time it was affected was the Alpine flood in 2005 .
Mountains and side valleys, geology
The valley separates the Lechtal Alps in the north from the Verwall group and in the section of the Sanna from the Samnaun group in the south. Like most of the Tyrolean Inn Valley, it is located in a tectonic fault zone, a border between the Central Alps and the Northern Limestone Alps . The valley has a share of the Landeck quartz phyllite and the eastern alpine gneisses .
The most important side valleys are:
- the Paznaun , the Valley of Trisanna in Tobadill at the entry into valley to the southwest, separates Verwall and Samnaun / Silvretta
- the Malfontal between the Riffler group and the Rendl group of the Verwall mountains to the south
- the Moostal between the Rendlgruppe and the Faselfadgruppe
- the Verwall , the valley of the upper Rosanna, which is the extension of the Stanzertal from the Rosannaschlucht to the south, with the Schönverwall and Ochsental as Obertalungen, separates Ostverwall from Westverwall
- and, already branching off from the Verwalltal, the valley of the Arlberg Ache , which leads to the Arlbergpass (the Arlbergstraße already rises below the Rosannaschlucht)
All of these latter valleys are uninhabited alpine regions.
Communities
In the valley are the communities (out of the valley) St. Anton am Arlberg , Pettneu am Arlberg , Flirsch , Strengen , Pians , Stanz bei Landeck , Tobadill , Grins and Landeck at the confluence with the Inn Valley. The first four municipalities form the Stanzertal planning association with 6093 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) and an area of 276.9 km² (5.2% of which is permanent settlement area ) and the St. Anton am Arlberg holiday region . The remaining communities belong to the planning association Landeck and the surrounding area and to the tourism association Tirol West , with the exception of Pians, which belongs to the tourism association Paznaun-Ischgl .
economy
The main source of income today is tourism, especially in and around St. Anton. Due to the topographical conditions (steep slopes, altitude), agriculture only plays a subordinate role; most farms are farmed as a sideline .
traffic
The Stanzer Tal is an important traffic artery and represents the main connection between Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The S 16 Arlberg Schnellstraße runs through the valley, this and the Arlbergbahn connect the valley through the Arlberg tunnel with the Klostertal in Vorarlberg . The B 171 Tiroler Strasse - L 68 Stanzertalstrasse - B 197 Arlbergstrasse to the Arlbergpass runs parallel to this .
