Our highest village
Berwang

Idyllic nature, peace and quiet: that's what makes Berwang so special. The village is the highest one in the entire Tiroler Zugspitz Arena region and attracts visitors with attractive leisure activities and a wide range of accommodation. 

Useful information

Berwang, at 1,336 metres, is the highest village in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena and lies between the Berwang valley and the Rotlech valley. The districts of Brand, Bichlbächle, Gröben, Kleinstockach, Mitteregg, Rinnen and Tal are still shaped by their traditional mountain-farming character. Surrounded by the Lechtal Alps, Berwang offers plenty of peace, nature and an ideal starting point for hiking, biking and winter sports in the Skiarena Berwang.

The name is composed of the elements “ber” and “wang”, meaning “bear meadow”. The term refers to the former open alpine pastures and the wildlife that once lived in the area.

The first settlers are believed to have come to the Berwang area from the Gurgeltal. For a long time, the village was administered from Imst and only became officially part of the Tiroler Außerfern in 1430. In 1949, tourism began to change life in what had previously been an agricultural community: the first ski lift started operating, and with the founding of the municipality of Namlos, the former Berwang hamlets of Kelmen and Namlos were reassigned there.
