geography

The municipality of Tesimo is located in the Burggrafenamt in the Adige Valley between Merano and Bozen on the orographically right , western side of the valley. The two largest settlements, the main town Tesimo ( 630 m ) and Prissian ( 610 m ), as well as the hamlets Grissian ( 850 m ) and Naraun ( 680 m ) are elevated in a low mountain range ( Tisner low mountain range ). Only a relatively small part of the municipality reaches the bottom of the Adige Valley. In the south, the village of Schernag ( 320 m ) borders directly on the center of Nals . In the west, the municipality rises to the mountain ranges of the Nonsberg group . There are two mountain fractions : Gfrill ( 1050 m ) is located directly on the road to the Gampenpass ( 1518 m ), which provides a transition to the Deutschnonsberg and the Non Valley ; Platzers ( 1280 m ), clearly separated from the Adige Valley by the Tisner Gall ( 1631 m ), is the highest settlement in the municipality. Tisens finds its highest points on the Kleiner Laugen ( 2297 m ) and on the northern foothills of the Mendelkamm .
