Merano High Mountain Trail
Varied hiking tour in the Texelgruppe Nature Park
Merano High Mountain Trail
T The Merano High Mountain Trail is one of the most famous circular hiking routes in the Alps. This approximately 100-kilometer-long trail, marked as number 24, was designed by AVS mountain guides Robert Schönweger and Helmuth Ellmenreich and opened in 1985.
It traverses the Texel Group Nature Park, offering breathtaking views of the mountain landscape of the Merano region, the Vinschgau Valley, and, in clear weather, even the Dolomites and the Ortler Massif.
The southern section of the trail is characterized by Mediterranean vegetation, while the northern sections cross high-alpine landscapes.
Along the Merano High Mountain Trail, experienced and sure-footed hikers can explore these vistas over five to eight day stages. The route provides valuable insights into the lives of South Tyrolean mountain farmers who have shaped and maintained this impressive cultural landscape for centuries. Thanks to numerous ascent and descent options, the hike can be started or finished at various points accessible by cable car, public transport, car, or taxi. Some sections of the trail require surefootedness, a head for heights, and special caution. Chains, ropes, or safety railings are installed at exposed points for security.
Along the route, there are many dining and accommodation options known for their high quality. Typical South Tyrolean dishes also make the hike a culinary experience.

Best Times to Hike:

Merano High Mountain Trail South: May – October (possibly longer depending on snow conditions)
Merano High Mountain Trail North: Late June – September (depending on snow conditions)
Entire circular trail: July – late September.

Stage Recommendations:
The suggested sections of the trail can be combined as desired, and stages can also be hiked in reverse order. Each individual stage can be undertaken as an autonomous day hike.

Popphof Winery – Wine Tradition Since 1592 🍷🍇
A place rich in history, flavor, and genuine South Tyrolean wine passion: Wine has been made at Popphof since 1592 – and the estate has been in the hands of the Menz family since 1722. Today, Katharina Menz, the dedicated cellar master, proudly continues this long-standing tradition. Her wines are fresh, fruity and full of character. 🌟
The sun-kissed slopes around Marling, the sustainable care of the vines, and the aging process in oak barrels all contribute to the unique identity of Popphof wines. Each vintage tells the story of the weather, the soil, and the loving hands that guided it – from the first bud to the harvest.🌿☀

In the historic wine cellar, young and maturing wines meet. This is where fine aromas develop and the character of each vintage comes to life. Want to sample straight from the barrel? 🍷

A True Sensory Experience👃🍇
Step into a world of flavors: fruits, herbs, flowers, earth and more – every wine brings a new taste adventure. A tasting at Popphof is more than a sip – it's an experience you won't forget!😉
📍 Visit and discover Popphof in Marling – with all your senses.
