Tanas

Tanas (pronounced [tana: s]) is a fraction of the municipality of Laas in South Tyrol . It is located in the Vinschgau on the slopes of the Sonnenberg at 1400 meters above sea level.

Tanas is a slowly growing Romanesque clustered village and the only closed village settlement on the very dry Sonnenberg, which otherwise only has small hamlets and mountain farms in individual farmsteads. The name is possibly derived from the Latin "montanasticus" (mountain village). The Laas-Tanas panoramic road was built in 1968/69 (continued to Schluderns in 1974 ) and offers impressive views of the Ortler Alps opposite and the valley floor of the Vinschgau, which like hardly any other region shows the contrast between fertile cultivated land and high alpine glacier landscape. Extensive renovation work has been carried out on residential and farm buildings since 1972, paved access roads to all mountain farms were laid out and the narrow village road was widened. One problem on the Sonnenberg is the migration of mountain farmers, who have always had to struggle with the injustices of nature and economic problems. For the children of the mountain farms there is a single-class mountain school in Tanas with nine students (school year 2013/2014). Some farms were given up, such as the Obermühl, Lochmühle, Ziederhof and Vogelsang.
