Montan

Montan is a municipality with 1,701 inhabitants in the South of South Tyrol in northern Italy, about 15 km south of Bolzano. The name Montan comes from the Latin mons .

The municipality of Montan, totalling 18.91 km2 , extends on the orographically left, i.e. eastern flank of the South Tyrolean Lowlands , as the section of the Adige valley between Bolzano and the Salorno chasm is called. The main settlement areas are located on a wide hillside terrace, on which sits the main town of Montan ; somewhat south of it lie the two districts Pinzon and Glen . The Castelfeder hill between Neumarkt and Auer protrudes west of the main town into the Adige valley. Below the hill, the municipality of Montan also occupies a small part of the valley floor up to the Adige river.
