Lazag recreation area

The Lazag recreation area is located approximately one kilometer north of Merano's city center, on the left bank of the Passirio River, near the cycle path that connects Merano to the Passirio Valley. The recreation area was created in 2003/2004 and renovated in 2016. It covers approximately 4.1 hectares and includes a 2,500-square-meter lake. The area also includes part of an alluvial black alder forest, one of the last of its kind in the municipality. Visitors can reach Lazag on foot via the Gilf-Lazago trail or by bicycle via the Vicolo Lazago cycle path. The area is suitable for hiking, cycling, barbecues, and picnics.

Follow Viale Europa and Via Rezia towards Via Francesco Petrarca/SS44.
Take the SS44 until you reach Via S. Giorgio. From there, continue along Via Virgilio and Via Planta. The walk to your destination takes about 10 minutes.

You can park on via Planta before walking to Lazag.

Lazago is an ideal spot for a picnic. The pond and the Passer River create a pleasant atmosphere. There are benches, but you can also bring a blanket and picnic on the grass next to the pond. Bring food and games and enjoy the day with family and friends. You can also barbecue there, but you'll need to bring your own equipment.
