Hiking in Merano & surroundings

Promenades, Waalweg paths, or multi-day alpine tours await you in the Mediterranean climate of the Merano region

You can enjoy a relaxing stroll along the spa promenade, an excursion on the Sissi Trail, a hike along the Marlengo Waalweg path during the apple blossom, or a multi-day tour on the Merano High Route. In the Merano region, leisurely walks and demanding routes are never far apart.

You decide the route! Besides the classic spots, themed routes like the Haflinger Horse Adventure Trail provide plenty of inspiration. The same goes for natural highlights such as South Tyrol's largest high-alpine lake district, the beautiful Sopranes Lakes in the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park.
