General information
Stans lies 560 m above sea level, approx. 30 km east of Innsbruck, at the foot of the Karwendel mountain. This 'family nest', with its 1800 inhabitants, has a lucky mascot called the 'Stanser Zwerg' (the dwarf of Stans). That he is called the 'Staner' - and
not the 'Stanser' - dwarf, is perfectly correct according to Tyrolean dialect, and it is this traditional Tyrolean identity which also determines the warm welcome that holidaying families will receive here.
