About Imst
Imst lies at 827 metres in the Oberinntal and is the seat of its district. The quieter, more spread-out upper part of town is around the parish church, whose tower of 84.5 metres is the tallest in Tyrol, and the denser lower town is the real centre. It calls itself the fountain town, with 41 fountains. The homes are close to the town, mostly sleeping around four, and a few have a sauna or pool. Hoch-Imst has an alpine coaster in summer and a small ski area in winter. Evenings are those of a working town, not a resort.
