Unterinn (Auna di Sotto) lies at an altitude of 899 metres and has a mild climate as well as lush vegetation. The village is situated amid apple orchards on a natural, south-facing terrace.

Holiday apartment in Unterinn between landscape and culture

When choosing a holiday apartment in Unterinn, the village’s different themes can shape your plans. Would you like to discover ecclesiastical history, trace historical events, get to know musical traditions or combine days of hiking with regional delicacies? Unterinn offers several specific points of connection, without requiring you to commit to just one type of travel.

The parish church of Auna di Sotto, the Church of St Lucy, was consecrated in honour of Saint Lucy in 1273. The castle of the Lords of Zwingenstein is also closely associated with Unterinn: it stood on a wooded hill in Unterinn and was destroyed in 1276 by Count Meinhard II of Tyrol-Gorizia. Both facts provide access to the religious and historical aspects of the village, although they clearly relate to different periods.

Music, too, has its own historical and contemporary connections in Unterinn. The Auna di Sotto brass band was founded in 1804. The Unterinn brass band is one of the oldest brass bands on the Ritten and performs at religious festivals, concerts and ceremonial occasions. Thus, the musical spectrum ranges from a documented founding history to performances at various festive events.

Just outside Unterinn, the small Church of St Sebastian is romantically situated on a hill.
