Built around agricultural land on the floor of the Alpine Rhine Valley, Lienz grew into a compact settlement in eastern Switzerland. It lies between the Rhine, which forms the Swiss–Austrian border, and the lower slopes leading towards the Appenzell Alps. Cultivated fields and a quiet village setting distinguish this part of the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, while the nearby town of Altstätten provides an important regional centre. Lienz remained an independent municipality until it was incorporated into Altstätten in 2021, marking a recent change in its local administration.
