Imst (German: [ɪmst] ⓘ; Southern Bavarian: Imscht) is a town in the Austrian federal state of Tyrol.

It lies on the River Inn in western Tyrol, some 50 kilometres (31 miles) west of Innsbruck and at an altitude of 828 metres (2,717 feet) above sea level.

Until 1918, the town (named earlier also JMST) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district of the same name, one of the 21 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in the Tyrol province.

[5] As part of Schemenlaufen pairs of men wear bells, tuned differently, while performing dances of jumps and bows.
