Zimní turistika v Meranu

An easy family hike to the Hiaslbauer Mountain Inn in the idyllic mountain hamlet of Videgg. Videgg is an old hamlet at an altitude of 1,500 meters. This charming hamlet consists of a little church, mountain inns and a few farms.

The newly built Timmelsalm is located in the middle of a wide depression above the tree line, nestled between numerous three-thousand-metre peaks. The beautiful alpine pasture with its cozy terrace offers nature lovers a fantastic view of the Ötztal mountain giants. The ascents to the Hofmannspitze, Müllerhütte, Wilden Freiger and Becherhaus also lead directly past the alpine pasture. The Timmelsalm is one of the so-called "Gerichtsalmen" of the Passeier Valley. This is where the people of Passiria are allowed to bring their animals to spend the summer in the mountains. In early summer, sheep and goats are the first to arrive, followed by milking cows for the alpine pasture and galt cattle, i.e. young cows or those that do not produce milk.

Adventure Hiking for the whole family, suitable for buggies!
Walk suitable for children and buggies!

The hike along Wiesenweg is a pleasant circular route that takes in Schenna’s castles and farms and offers some lovely scenic viewing points where you can stop along the way. 

Take the cable car and the chair lift up. About sunny plateaus teaseling Bühel on Vigiljoch. The road (Mark. 4) leads slightly downhill to the west, crosses the path of a small ski lift and leads between the inn and the church of St. Jocher.

From there you follow the markings 9-30 in moderate ascents through the forests to the south and southwest. From a large clearing, which can be reached on the southern edge, suddenly the rough Bühel is right diagonally forward to identify on which (unfortunately) are an antenna system and a hunter high level. The direct descent to Naturnser Alm is possible, but more difficult. The short descent back to the gate and the circumnavigation is also the next hilltop, where you a beautifully located plateau crossed by the north (Mark. 9B) and short to Naturnser Alm (no winter) descends.

From Naturnser Alm it's off to Mark. 30 in the north-east mainly through forest back to San Vigilio.

Panoramic family hike on the Schennaberg to the Rastlhof Farm. Rastlhof Farm is a paradise for animals alike: cats, ponies, a Bernese mountain dog and Highland cattle live on this farm!

This is a leisurely hour-long walk from Schenna to Merano. The sunny Mitterplattweg leads through orchards and vineyards to the heart of the spa town. Panoramic views included.  

This is one of the oldest irrigation canals (Waalweg) of Merano and environs!
It was built in the XV century by the Counts of Stachelburg and is, therefore, more than five hundred years old. The canal is lined by birch-tree groves and rich, varied vegetation and is still used to irrigate the Parcines orchards, meadows and fields. 
An ancient “Wohnstein”, a free-standing, curved rock in whose shadow ancient people lived, and a pre-historic “Schalenstein” – a stone with strange round-shaped indentations on it, dating back to the Copper Age, can be seen at the eastern end of the Waal path.
This particular walk is especially interesting for those interested in local history.

This easy hike starts at St. Kathrein Chapel: From the chapel, follow the panoramic trail south towards Hochsulfen. 
The trail takes you through a shady section of forest with a slight incline. 
After about 1.4 km, you will reach the summit of Hochsulfen (1,345 m), where you can enjoy an impressive view and the children can play at our newly designed rest area.
For the return trip, you can either take the same path back or choose a circular route that takes you back to the starting point at the edge of the forest.

Family hike starting at the Vigiljoch mountain station, from where numerous hiking trails lead to unique places such as the St. Vigilius church. This hike is particularly beautiful in autumn, when larches and blueberry bushes glow brightly.

The picturesque winter hike along the Schenner Waal follows a natural trail through the quiet, wintry chestnut groves and orchards high above the spa town of Merano. Even on sunny winter days, the hike offers a unique nature experience with clear air and magnificent views.

From the info office St. Martin in the direction of the village center to the savings bank. Turn left there and walk out of the village to the fire station. Ascend the Feldbauernweg to the right until you reach the last houses. There you will find the entrance to the Teufelsteinweg. From here follow the signs. At the end of the theme trail, descend the asphalt road for a few hundred meters and then hike back to the right along trail no. 4 through the forest to St. Martin. It gets its name from the Devil's Stone, which stands in the middle of the path. A boulder with the hoof print of the devil.

In winter you may encounter icy or snow-covered spots.

Trail not suitable for strollers.

This winter hike is especially suitable for families, as the path is mostly flat. In the mountain hamlet of Videgg, you can enjoy traditional South Tyrolean cuisine, and there’s a short sledding hill by the small church for the little ones.

The Knottnkino (Knott meaning rock, kino meaning cinema) is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Vöran/Verano and is located upon the Rotstein Knott mountain. In the seats made from steel and chestnut wood designed and positioned by the artist Franz Messner from Ritten/Renon, one can enjoy unique views of the Texelgrupperange all the way to Penegal mountain and the Weißhorn peak, as though sitting comfortably in a cinema. But the film is always changing in the Knottnkino: daily, hourly, with the time of day and the changing of the season, with the climate and weather, there is always something new to see...

The pond Sulfner Weiher in Hafling is at its loveliest in summer. White water lilies cover the pond while yellow irises, floating water plantains, marsh horsetails, bulrushes, bur-reed, and a host of other plants thrive at the shoreline.
