Sustainable travel in winter – conscious travel

Sustainable travel in winter – conscious travel

When the days get shorter and the first snow falls, for many people the most wonderful time of the year begins – the winter travel season.

Those who plan early can not only benefit from attractive offers in Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000, but also make their trip particularly environmentally friendly. Sustainability begins with the booking.

Travelling by train and bus
Those who travel in an environmentally conscious manner not only pay attention to their choice of accommodation, but also to resource-saving travel and climate-friendly activities on site. After all, travel is one of the most important factors in the carbon footprint of a holiday. Sustainable winter tourism therefore begins with the decision of how to travel. The most environmentally friendly way to start your winter holiday is to travel by public transport https://www.merano-suedtirol.it/en/hafling-voeran-meran-2000/info-service/information/reach-south-tyrol.html . Modern train connections and bus routes now offer convenient and stress-free travel directly to our holiday region. Those who use trains and buses save CO₂, avoid traffic jams and start their holiday relaxed.

Local mobility without a car
Those who nevertheless decide to travel with their own car can do without it entirely once they arrive. The Hafling-Falzeben ski bus is the most direct and free connection between your accommodation and the Merano 2000 ski area. The South Tyrol Guest Pass allows you to explore the entire area comfortably and sustainably. This makes sustainable mobility part of the holiday experience.

Climate-friendly activities
Travelling gently means experiencing nature and the landscape mindfully. Winter hikes, snowshoe tours or tobogganing excursions are ideal alternatives to the usual winter activities – peaceful, close to nature and relaxing. Skiing itself is often caught between the conflicting priorities of enjoying nature and protecting the environment. However, the Meran 2000 ski resort shows that winter sports can also be organised responsibly: snowcats with lower emissions, the use of green energy and efficient use of resources are just part of their long-term sustainability strategy and a valuable contribution to sustainable winter tourism.


Book early and get more for your money
At the same time, the special offer weeks from 6 to 24 January 2026 invite you to enjoy winter in a particularly conscious way: guests benefit from attractive offers on ski hire, ski passes and accommodation – ideal for anyone who wants to travel in an environmentally friendly way and benefit from fair conditions at the same time.

Businesses with a sustainable focus
More and more accommodation providers are focusing on regional products, resource-saving energy use and environmentally conscious concepts. Guests who specifically choose such businesses actively support sustainable development in tourism. In Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000 and the neighbouring communities on the Tschögglberg, great importance is also attached to regionality and sustainability. Here you will find businesses that already have a certified sustainable business structure and management.


Gentle winter tourism with a future
Sustainable travel in winter means conscious enjoyment – from the journey to the last day of skiing. Those who plan early, travel consciously and use environmentally friendly offers help to ensure that our mountain world remains a place of genuine relaxation for future generations – quiet, mindful and sustainable.

Franz Innerhofer from the Obertimpfler farm in Vöran knows how to make it.

Tschögglberg: a scenic highlight and ethymological puzzle
The term Tschögglberg is often used in connection with the villages of Hafling and Vöran, but also Mölten and Jenesien. That is one thing. On the other hand, people are sometimes referred to as “Tschöggl”, which is not exactly a compliment, as it refers to clumsy hillbillies. We investigated what the Tschögglberg is and what the difference is between a Tschöggl and a Tschögglberger.
