... in Merano's most captivating outlying village.
Enjoy hiking, biking, and South Tyrolean cuisine and culture, recharge your batteries and enhance your health in unspoilt natural surroundings – a holiday in Partschins has a lot to offer. And, thanks to its ideal location – with Merano/Meran, the Vinschgau/Val Venosta Valley and the Texel group of mountains right by the door – there are countless options to explore.
Blessed by sunshine, the climate and the natural healing resources of its waterfall, Partschins and its surrounding villages of Rabland/Rablà and Töll/Tel, lies at the entrance to South Tyrol’s largest nature park, the Texel Group. A real leisure and hiking paradise, with everything that goes with that, such as panoramic and irrigation channel trails boasting magnificent views, 13 (!) three thousand meter-plus mountains, single trails for mountain bike lovers, long distance hikes on the Meraner Höhenweg High Altitude Trail, and climbing on the many rock faces or the Ziel Via Ferrata. All this is nicely spread out across two mountainsides, easily accessible by the two cable cars.
A little further down in the valley, visitors to Partschins can enjoy a wide range of activities: cycling along the Etsch cycle path, the Via Claudia Augusta, a rest stop at the idyllic Rabland pond, a detour to the Typewriter Museum, Railway World or the Bad Egart Royal and Imperial Museum. Or a leisurely walk through the old village centre, past stately residences, castles and prehistoric places of worship.
