Gernot Langes Stadion, Football stadium in Wattens, Austria.
Gernot Langes Stadion is a football ground in Wattens, Austria, set within a sports complex that also contains an athletics track and indoor sports halls. The ground holds around 5,500 spectators and is used mainly for home matches of the local football club.
The ground opened in 1959 under the name Alpenstadion and was renamed in 2014 to honor Gernot Langes and the Swarovski family's support of local sport. This change reflects how closely the Swarovski company has been tied to sporting life in Wattens over the decades.
The facility serves as home ground for WSG Swarovski Wattens - Tirol II and brings together football fans from the surrounding area. Match days fill the stands with supporters who shape the region's sporting life and community spirit.
The stadium sits at the western edge of Wattens along Dr. Karl Stainer Straße and is easy to reach on foot or by car. On match days, arriving a little early makes the entry smoother and gives you time to find a good spot.
The main grandstand on the west side has a roof over the seats, while the east side is an open terrace where spectators stand, making the two sides feel quite different from each other. Visitors who prefer an open-air standing experience naturally head to the east, while those looking for shelter choose the west.
