From Meran 2000 via the Heini Holzer via ferrata to the Ifinger Peak: a delightful tour with a rewarding summit destination for via ferrata enthusiasts
The Ifinger Peak is also referred to as the local mountain of Hafling, Meran and Schenna and reaches a height of 2,581m. The summit offers a wonderful panoramic view. For the via ferrata (B/C), good basic fitness and a lack of vertigo are prerequisites.
Starting from the mountain station at Meran 2000, hiking Trail No. 3 leads to the fork in the Schartlweg (Trail No. 18), which points towards the via ferrata.
There, turn left into Trail No. 18. The trail leads slightly downhill at first, past two turnoffs, to the signposted access point just below the clearly visible roping-up area.
Coming from both directions of the freeway Meran/Merano - Bolzano/Bozen (MEBO), take the exit of Meran Süd/Merano Sud and follow directions towards Meran first, to then turn right towards Hafling/Avelengo.
Two possibilities to reach the summit station:
Free parking place at the valley station of the Meran 2000 funicular/Naiftal
Paid parking area in Falzeben
