Frazioni

The municipality of Ahrntal contains the "frazioni" (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Lutago, Cadipietra (Steinhaus), San Giacomo (St. Jakob), San Giovanni (St. Johann), San Pietro (St. Peter) and Riobianco (Weißenbach).

Riobianco is composed of picturesque alpine farmhouses, grouped around the foaming white glacial stream from which its name is derived. With a population of around 550, it sits at an altitude of 1350 metres above sea level. The pride of the village is the Church of St. Jacob, dating from the 16th century.
