The
Lana region is where Alpine mountains meet southern fragrances. Around these parts,
roses and
chestnut trees grow almost side by side. Mountain peaks, Alpine pastures and extended orchards all offer the natural spectacle before your eyes. Dotted around the countryside are numerous spots for rest and relaxation: down in the valley, in the
forests or ensconced between
mountain peaks.
Due to its hybrid Alpine-Mediterranean climate facing south of the Alps, the Lana region is home to a wide range of
fauna and
flora. Inhabiting these high mountains are chamois and marmots, as well as a number of bird species and amphibians indigenous to the Lana
Falschauer delta. Down in the valley, palms, olive trees and tropical plants proliferate, while Alpine roses and mountain pines grow in the mountains. Although some organised tours are centred on discovering Nature, recreation is also prominent – such as excursions into the untamed Gaulschlucht gorge. There are also guided outings to the
Kränzelhof estate in Tscherms/Cermes, with its gardens and winery, and visits to the famed Gardens of
Trauttmansdorff Castle in Meran/Merano.
