Pians is a small village at the mouth of the Paznaun valley, 4.3 km west of Landeck, suited to families wanting a quiet valley base. Ischgl and the other resorts are higher up the valley, so expect to drive for the lifts.
Pians is a village of around 800 people at 856 metres, about 4.3 km west of Landeck, and it marks the start of the Paznaun valley. The valley runs southwest to the Bielerhöhe pass, with See, Kappl, Ischgl and Galtür climbing in that order. Just southwest of Pians the Arlberg railway crosses the Trisanna Bridge, which opened in 1884 and is 211 metres long. The homes here are close together in the village. They mostly sleep around six, with no sauna or private pool, and few have a garden.

Pians lies 4.3 km west of Landeck, and the Arlberg railway passes just outside the village. The Paznaun valley begins here, with the ski resorts higher up it, so a car is the realistic way to get around.
Right at the bottom, at 856 metres. The Paznaun runs southwest from here to the Bielerhöhe pass, and the main villages follow in order: See, Kappl, Ischgl and Galtür.
Yes. Pians is 4.3 km west of Landeck, so shops and services in the town are a short drive away. The village itself has around 800 people, and tourism is its main income.
It works if you are happy to drive. Ischgl, the best-known resort in the Paznaun, sits higher up at 1,377 metres, past See and Kappl, so expect to drive up the valley for the lifts.
