!!!Paznauntal

Paznaun Valley, Tirol, southwestern lateral valley of the Stanzer 
Valley, drained by the Trisanna river, stretches from Galtuer (alt. 
1,584 m), which is situated at the border to the province of 
Vorarlberg (at the confluence of the streams Vermuntbach and Jambach), 
to the confluence of the rivers Trisanna and Rosanna near Burgfried 
(alt. 1,032 m); in the north the valley is flanked by the Verwall 
Mountains and in the south by the Samnaun Mountains. Near the town of 
Ischgl the Fimbatal valley (Fimbabach stream) turns to the south. The 
Trisanna's tributary streams in the south are Jambach and Lareinbach. 
The  Silvretta Alpine Road (Bielerhoehe heights, alt. 2,037 m) 
connects the Paznaun Valley with the Montafon Valley (Vorarlberg). 
During the Middle Ages Valaisans (from Valais) who had settled in the 
Montafon Valley, later settled down here; to this day place names and 
the names of some work implements recall the Rhaeto-Romans who were 
the first to settle in this area. Important towns and villages in the 
valley are Galtuer (alt. 1,584 m), Mathon (alt. 1,454 m), 
Paznaun, Ischgl (well-known ski resort, alt. 1,376 m) and Kappl 
(alt. 1,256 m).
