It also includes the Seefelder Plateau. The district is quite diverse. Alpine areas dominate the landscape, including the Stubai Alps to the south-west, the Tux Alps to the south-east, and the Wetterstein Mountains and the Karwendel to the north. The largest population is concentrated in the Inntal valley, while the other areas (except Stubaital and Seefeld) have more untouched landscapes and comparatively less tourism.
