Vahrn is situated in the northwest of the Brixner Basin. The village encompasses the two settlements of Vahrn and Neustift in the valley, Schalders on the slopes of the Schalderstal and Spiluck north of the central village. In recent years a great number of new developments have been built in Vahrn, especially in its southern part along the Brenner Road, turning Vahrn into a suburb of the city of Brixen. The remaining cultivated land at the bottom of the valley and on the fan of the Schalderer Torrent is characterized by intensive fruit-growing and vineyards. The mountain slopes on the other hand are used as pasture land and for livestock. People in Vahrn suffer from the growing traffic, which on the one hand brings economic prosperity, on the other hand affects their quality of life.
