Sautens is a small town, also called a municipality, in the Imst area of Austria. It is located about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) southeast of the town of Imst. Sautens sits on the lower part of the Ötztaler Ache river.
The village gets a lot of sunshine and is protected from strong winds. This creates a very mild climate, meaning the weather is usually pleasant.

The name "Sautens" might come from ancient Roman times. Sautens used to be connected with the nearby town of Oetz. However, in 1836, Sautens became its own separate community. In recent years, more and more tourists have started visiting the village.
