I mercatini di Natale di Merano

Quite possibly our tastiest tradition here in South Tyrol: Törggelen. But do you know what’s traditionally on the menu?

Depending on the farm, the meal starts with barley soup or Schlutzkrapfen, our local filled pasta. Next comes a hearty platter of farmhouse sausages, cured pork, dumplings and sauerkraut, served with sweet grape must and young wine.
To finish, there are sweet filled pastries and roasted chestnuts.

Fun fact: many locals enjoy their chestnuts with fresh butter! Have you tried them this way?

Dorf Tirol in autumn? Pretty much a postcard. 🍂 Around 70 kilometres of marked trails lead through vineyards, orchards and diverse landscapes all the way into the mountains of the Texel Group Nature Park. The perfect season to explore the area on foot and enjoy the colours and atmosphere of autumn.

The Women’s Museum Merano was founded in 1988 from Evelyn Ortner’s private collection of historical clothing and is one of Europe’s oldest women’s museums. Today, around 8,000 objects tell the story of women’s lives and changing roles from the French Revolution to the present day. Clothing, everyday objects and personal stories offer a different perspective on history and make the museum a place for exchange and new perspectives.

The autumn days are getting shorter, temperatures are milder and wellness season is slowly beginning. ♨️ The thermal water from Naturns rises from around 200 metres below ground and is heated for soothing treatments. Combined with a sauna session, the contrast between heat and cooling creates a relaxing experience that supports regeneration and wellbeing

When chestnuts take centre stage, tradition meets flavour. 🌰
During the Keschtnriggl Chestnut Days, this centuries old South Tyrolean heritage comes to life through traditional craftsmanship, local customs and seasonal dishes that showcase the chestnut in many different ways. A delicious reason to discover autumn in Merano City & Valleys. 🍂
