Laion / Lajen Bolzano Map

Explore Laion (Lajen), Bolzano, Italy, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Laion map and move it around to re-centre it, switch between the standard street map and satellite imagery, and use the zoom buttons to go from the whole province down to street-level detail.

This page also offers a second, independent map. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole of Italy, with a labelled UTM grid drawn the way an IGM 1:25 000 sheet draws it, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS reading that reports your position in Gauss-Boaga and UTM as well as latitude and longitude. See How to Use This Map below. Local and world news, and the nearby places worth visiting, are further down the page.

How to Use This Laion, Bolzano Map / Come usare questa carta

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Laion, Bolzano, Italy. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch between the street map and aerial photography. Use the + and − buttons to zoom, or hold the Control key while scrolling the mouse wheel. On a touchscreen, pinch with two fingers. Drag the map to pan anywhere in Bolzano or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill the screen. To go back, press Escape, click ✕ Exit Fullscreen above the map, or on a phone tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

SEARCH MAPS. The green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map opens a second, independent map on OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole country. Its search box finds any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Laion.

Reading the map like an IGM sheet. Click Grid to lay a labelled UTM grid over the map, quoted along the edges the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so a six-figure reference can be read by eye and distance judged straight off the map. Click Measure and tap two points for the distance between them with the grid, true and magnetic bearings, the last being the one to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position for a single GPS fix. It marks where you are and reports it as Gauss-Boaga (the grid printed on the IGM Carta d'Italia), as ETRS89 / UTM (the grid Italy uses today), and as plain latitude and longitude, with a copy button so it can be pasted into a message. It takes one reading and stops, to save the battery. Map tiles need mobile coverage; a GPS reading does not — so the grid reference stays correct in the Apennines and the Alps, where the map itself often will not load.

Usa i pulsanti Map e Satellite per passare dalla carta stradale alla fotografia aerea, i pulsanti + e − per lo zoom, e trascina la mappa per spostarti. Il pulsante 🔍 Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con la ricerca di qualsiasi comune, frazione o cima d'Italia, la griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, la misura di distanze e azimut (di griglia, vero e magnetico) e la lettura GPS della posizione in Gauss-Boaga, in ETRS89/UTM e in coordinate geografiche. Le tessere della mappa richiedono la rete mobile, la lettura GPS no: il riferimento resta valido anche dove la carta non si carica.

About Laion

Laion sits within the mountain landscape of Trentino-Alto Adige, an autonomous region defined by its rugged terrain and distinct cultural intersections. The air here holds the crisp sharpness of the nearby Val Gardena, while the landscape is shaped by the presence of the Rio Gardena and the Fiume Isarco. The surroundings are marked by the distant profile of the Sciliar and the proximity of the Parco Naturale dello Sciliar catinaccio, where the changing light alters the character of the slopes. Local waters like the Laghetto Gfierer offer quiet points of reflection amidst the high pastures that define the character of this territory.

Life in the village follows the quiet rhythm of a mountain community where German and Italian traditions meet. A short distance away, the Trostburg castle commands the view, its stone walls bearing witness to the history of the valley. Visitors often make their way to the Monastero di Sabiona, which occupies a prominent position on the Monte Sabiona, offering a perspective over the surrounding slopes. The Tre Chiese attract those who appreciate the austere beauty of the region, while the proximity of the Passo di Pinei provides a gateway to the wider, dramatic scenery that characterizes this part of the province of Bolzano.

L'ambiente è protetto dalla presenza del Parco Naturale dello Sciliar catinaccio, un'area che custodisce la biodiversità alpina.

Il villaggio si presenta come un punto di osservazione privilegiato per esplorare le testimonianze architettoniche della zona. Poco distante, il Trostburg domina il paesaggio con la sua mole severa, mentre il Monastero di Sabiona si erge sul Monte Sabiona, offrendo una vista che abbraccia l'intera vallata. Gli appassionati possono raggiungere le Tre Chiese, un luogo di quiete immerso nella quiete dei boschi, oppure avventurarsi verso il Passo di Pinei. Questi siti permettono di comprendere meglio il legame profondo tra l'architettura storica e la conformazione geologica di questo territorio della provincia di Bolzano.

About This Laion Map Page / Informazioni su questa pagina

Explore Laion, Bolzano, Italy, with an embedded Google street and satellite map — switch between the two with the buttons on the map. Coordinates: 46.608091, 11.565729. Place names, the comune and provincia hierarchy and the population come from Istat: the administrative boundaries of 1 January 2026 and the 2021 census of inhabited localities. Local and world news feeds keep the page current, and the bilingual description is written from the data this site holds rather than copied from elsewhere. The 30 nearby places listed above are drawn from OpenStreetMap, the IGM toponym database and a curated list checked against Wikipedia. Alternate and historic names for this place are given in the table above.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name; overlays a labelled UTM grid quoted the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it; measures distance with grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a Gauss-Boaga reference, as ETRS89 / UTM, and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference stays correct where the map cannot load.

There is no topographic layer on these pages. The Istituto Geografico Militare serves its Carta d'Italia only inside the EU, so an Italian equivalent of the 1:25 000 walking sheet cannot be shown here — the UTM grid over OpenStreetMap is what stands in its place.

Toponimi, gerarchia comune/provincia e popolazione provengono dall'Istat: confini amministrativi al 1° gennaio 2026 e censimento 2021 delle località abitate. Il pulsante Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con ricerca per nome, griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, misura di distanze e azimut, e lettura GPS in Gauss-Boaga, ETRS89/UTM e coordinate geografiche. Non è presente un livello topografico: l'IGM distribuisce la Carta d'Italia solo all'interno dell'Unione Europea.
