Hiking in Merano • VisitMerano

Clearly, Merano with its surroundings is an absolute hiking mecca! The nice thing about it, there are countless hiking opportunities in such close proximity that after most hikes you can still easily go to the city for an ice cream and a stroll in the city or- why not visit the thermal baths to follow the hiking route again from the pools.

The Merano region offers 4 large hiking areas with different characteristics, all of which can be reached by cable cars or chair and gondola lifts:
