Montan is a municipality with 1,701 inhabitants in the South of South Tyrol in northern Italy, about 15 km south of Bolzano. The name Montan comes from the Latin mons ("mountain"). The charming hillside location and surroundings – with a panoramic view of the valley below, lake Kaltern and the Mendel ridge – has brought tourism to the village, which also boasts some old town houses.
