Lana is located at the south of the Meran basin between Merano and Bolzano. Besides churches, monasteries and chapels a real natural spectacle can be expected. Get excited by the fascinating apple blossom or by the picturesque scenery of the “Gola di Lana” gorge at the feet of Braunsberg Castle. Come with us to this Alpine and Mediterranean world.

A place to discover, to experience and to indulge in. The Kränzelhof does not only stand for arts, relaxation and adventure, but also for history and tasty wine. We visited the Kränzelhof farm in Cermes, became familiar with the vine-growing farm steeped in history, and met its sympathetic estate owner.
video: Hiking tip Monte San Vigilio

Car-free, breathtaking panoramas and indescribably idyllic. This is the side of Monte San Viglio that can be seen during the winter months. Whoever has intensely experienced nature in pristine, snow covered forests and fields, will appreciate experiences such as these. A rare peacefulness, combined with warm sunshine, the soft, crunching snow underfoot and crystal clear mountain air that rejuvenates the mind and soul.

The Gampen bunker is the largest of the six hundred bunkers scattered in South Tyrol. Built in the forties, it‘s purpose was to defend the Third Reich in the Alps, however, it was never used. Today, the bunker is a great place for a stopover for those travelling the mountain pass roads. The Gampen Gallery and mineral exhibition is a must-see. We decided to visit the museum and take a convertible up to the Passo Palade mountain pass.

The largest fruit-growing municipality of South Tyrol is called Lana and is located in the southern corner of the valley basin of Merano, at the entrance to Val d’Ultimo. Comprising the villages Lana di Sopra, Lana di Mezzo, Lana di Sotto, Foiana and Pavicolo, the municipal territory stretches from 250 m in the valley to 1,910 m asl at Monte San Vigilio, the local mountain of Lana.

Already about 10,000 ago, after the last Ice Age, the slopes surrounding Lana were settled, but but the most thriving period started in the 19th century. The reason for the prosperous period was the construction of the railway line between Merano and Bolzano. When the area was reclaimed in the 19th century, the lovely village of Lana developed. Today the lovely municipality is surrounded by fruit orchards and vineyards.

Due to the large number of churches, chapels and castles spread all over the municipal territory, Lana provides several attractions that are worth seeing. However, not only those who are interested in culture and history will love this charming spot of land, but also those who prefer shopping, making a stroll and go for a walk in the pedestrian zone in the centre. A 9-hole golf course, an outdoor pool and the new horse riding stable make your stay a lasting experience.

Our tip: events such as LanaLive, the Christmas Market, the Pumpkin days or the Blossom festival also attract a large number of visitors and animate the life in the village.
