Innsbruck nestles as an urban furrow in the narrow valley of the Inn Valley, framed by the steep flanks of the Nordkette and the foothills of the Stubai Alps. The urban space here is directly intertwined with the alpine topography. The city squeezes itself with the Inn between the towering walls of the mountains that dominate the cityscape.

The street vistas repeatedly open up views of the mighty backdrop of the rock faces. This constant presence of the mountains determines the climate and light in the alleys.
