The municipality occupies the upper section of the Tierser valley, which is drained by the Tierser Bach, and the surrounding mountain areas of the Dolomites . The largest settlement in the municipality is the main town of Tires, which is located on a south-facing hillside at an altitude of around 1000  m . Further into the valley lying fraction S. Cipriano ( 1100  m ) and above the small settlement Weisslahnbad ( 1200  m ). A few courtyards from Breien also belong to the Tiers municipality area further down the valley .

The community encompasses extensive mountain areas, most of which are protected in the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Park . On the north side, Tiers is framed by the Schlern group , from the Tschafatschzug over the Roterdspitze ( 2655  m ) to the Großer Rosszahn ( 2653  m ). The rose garden dominating the valley rises to the east of the community . The Kesselkogel ( 3004  m ), the Rosengartenspitze ( 2981  m ) and the Vajolet towers ( 2821  m ) rise here . Tiers is bordered on the south by a largely wooded ridge in which the Niger Pass ( 1690  m ) provides a transition into the upper Eggental .

The neighboring communities in the lower Tierser Tal are Karneid and Völs am Schlern . On the north side in the Schlern group, Tiers also borders on Völs and in the extreme northeast on Castelrotto , on the south side on the Eggentaler municipality Welschnofen . In the Rosengarten mountain range in the east, the municipal border also forms the provincial border with Trentino .

Worth seeing

In addition to the architectural and natural monuments contained in the lists, there are other sights. The remains of Völsegg or Velseck Castle ( ⊙ ) date from the Middle Ages.

The Thalerbühel ( ⊙ ) is a burnt offering site from the Middle Iron Age (approx. 6th to 5th century BC). A natural elevation was artificially flattened and brought into the approximate shape of an oversized natural altar. The path of contemplation leads past it, which shows the suffering of Jesus Christ in 13 stations through metal panels set in wooden posts.

traffic

Since the end of the 1980s, the main access to Tiers has led from Blumau in the Eisack Valley via Völser Aicha on an elevated slope into the Tiers Valley. This relieved the still existing road, which also began in Blumau, through the narrow estuary of the valley, which has always been at risk of falling rocks. In addition, the road over the Niger Pass connects Tiers with the upper Eggental or Karer Pass .
