The Samnaun Alps are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps, named after the Swiss municipality of Samnaun.[1] They are located at the border of the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Graubünden canton of Switzerland.[2]
The Samnaun Alps are separated from the Sesvenna Alps in the south by the Engadine Valley; from the Silvretta Alps in the west by the Fimber Pass; from the Verwall Alps and the Lechtal Alps in the north by the Paznauntal; from the Ötztal Alps in the east by the Inn valley. All the range is drained by the river Inn, through the Trisanna, Schergenbach, Brancla and Fimbabach.
