Leutasch

Leutasch is a rural municipality in the Innsbruck-Land district, extending across a valley with several scattered settlements. The Leutascher Ache river runs through the area between mountain ranges and defines the natural landscape structure.

First written records date to 1278, when a connection was established with an Augustinian monastery in the region. Over centuries, the community developed as a settlement in this alpine valley shaped by its mountain location.

The St. Magdalena Church shapes the village landscape and serves as the religious center where residents gather for celebrations. Around this focal point, the main settlement grew over time, forming the heart of the community.

The municipality is well served by bus services and has well-maintained roads with direct connections to nearby towns. Getting around by car is straightforward, especially if you plan to visit Innsbruck or explore surrounding valleys.

The Leutasch Gorge is a nature reserve with a protected footpath system that lets visitors walk between towering rock walls. This route offers an unusual view of the geology and the power of water shaping the mountain landscape.
