Winter Hiking in Avelengo and Merano 2000

Through the snow-covered larch forests of Avelengo, Verano and Merano 2000

On the sunny mountain plateau, visitors will find easy and basic as well as more demanding routes for winter hiking in Avelengo/Hafling, Verano/Vöran and Merano 2000. On the terraces of traditional mountain inns and huts, South Tyrolean specialties such as dumpling soup (Knödelsuppe) and Kaiserschmarrn are especially to be recommended. The panoramic views from the mountain plateau extend to the peaks of the Texelgruppe Nature Park and towards the Dolomites and the Ortler, and up to the Brenta mountain summits in neighboring Trentino.

For those who wish to experience the winter landscape of Avelengo, Verano and Merano 2000 as a group, guided tours and snowshoe hikes are offered with local hiking guide Franz.

The perfect complement to a day of nature experiences is a visit to the Terme Merano or a shopping excursion in the nearby spa town.
