Geography
Grinzens is located on a low mountain terrace southwest of Innsbruck, at the entrance to the Sellrain valley. The municipal area is bordered by the Melach and the Sendersbach. The elongated settlement extends mainly along a road that runs from Sellrain (Neder with Gertrein and Brandögg) to the western end of Axams (Moarhof and Bachl) and forks in the village area into the side, parallel to the Neder. Above the Anger one speaks of Obergrinzens, below, at the village church, of Untergrinzens.In addition to these streets, the village is characterized by the municipal building (with elementary school, kindergarten, crèche and pavilion, significantly expanded in 2013), the church and a multi-purpose building in the village center. The entire Senderstal valley, up to the Kalkkögel mountains, also belongs to the municipal area. About one-tenth of the municipality's area is suitable for year-round settlement, resulting in an effective population density of about 490 inhabitants per km2 of permanent settlement area.
