Schnann: ArlbergLife Camping - Pettneu am Arlberg

The Rosanna River defines the setting of Schnann — its narrow valley floor gathers homes, road and rail links beneath the steep slopes of the Tyrolean Alps. Schnann is part of the municipality of Pettneu am Arlberg in the Stanzertal, with the Lechtal Alps rising to the north and the Verwall group to the south. This corridor has long connected Tyrol with the Arlberg Pass; the Arlberg Railway, opened in 1884, still runs through the valley. The settlement is closely tied to an Alpine transport route as well as to the mountain country around it.

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
