A look back in time

The history of Berwang

It’s likely that settlers came to Berwang from Gurgltal Valley. What speaks for this theory is the fact that the town had its legal and fiscal administration in Imst for a long time. From 1430 on, Berwang officially became a part of the Tyrolean Außerfern region. Since 1949, the Kelmen hamlet (formerly a part of Berwang) and Namlos became the Namlos  municipality founded in the same year. In addition, the first local ski lift was put into operation in 1949. Growing tourism brought life to the region previously shaped by farming.
