Scenic forest roads and alpine trails lead to places like Merano 2000, the Ultental Valley and the Passeiertal Valley, where every climb is rewarded with sweeping views across the surrounding peaks. Whether by mountain bike or e bike, the journey is just as memorable as the destination itself. 🚵‍♀

A leisurely stroll through the streets of Merano, a journey through history at the Women’s Museum, a hike to the Burgstalleck viewpoint above Nals, and a well deserved aperitivo in Algund as the day winds down. 🛍🍹

This is what summer days in Merano City & Valleys are made for.

Take the nostalgic chairlift from Algund to Vellau and float above vineyards, orchards, and forests before setting off on unforgettable hikes along the Merano High Mountain Trail.🚡⛰

A unique way to experience South Tyrol from a different perspective.

Have you ever heard of a South Tyrolean “Marende”?🥓🧀
It is more than just an afternoon snack. Cured meats, local cheese, dark bread and a glass of wine come together to celebrate simple ingredients, local flavours and the joy of taking a moment to pause.

With over 800 castles and fortresses across South Tyrol, the Merano region is one of the most castle-dense areas in Europe.🏰🗝

Famous landmarks like Tyrol Castle and Scena Castle are well worth a visit. But the real discoveries lie elsewhere: Castel Katzenzungen in Prissian, home to Europe's largest grapevine; the quietly rising ruins of Castle Dornsberg in Naturns; and the often-overlooked Prince's Castle in the heart of Merano, built in 1470 as a private retreat for Archduke Sigismund of Austria.

Some are hotels. Some are ruins. All of them have a story.
