Gargazzone, a peaceful village without separate districts located between Bolzano and Merano, offers a wide range of sporting activities. The coat of arms of the municipality depicts the Kröllturm, a watchtower dating back to 1240 AD and today a castle ruin, which still stands guard over the village.

The three trees, however, symbolise the area's fruit orchards, which, in addition to producing excellent fruit, provide stunning memories of the apple blossom in the Merano region.

In the village centre stands the neo-Romanesque Sacred Heart Parish Church. Among the cosy cafés and small shops are other noteworthy buildings: the relics of Saint Octonius and a 14th-century fresco in St. John's Church, as well as the marble memorial plaque at the Berger Farm, commemorating the Tyrolean Wars of Independence. The municipality extends from the Adige River to the slopes of the Monzoccolo at an altitude of around 400 metres.

Higher areas can be reached by the cable car in the neighbouring village of Postal. Beautiful hiking trails await you there in every season. If you enjoy being active, Gargazzone and its surroundings offer numerous opportunities for sport and recreation. One hike leads, for example, to the seven-step waterfall of the Rio Eschio stream. The sports area on the edge of the village offers tennis courts, a skate park, a football pitch, a bar, and the Gargazzone nature outdoor pool.

This natural pool forms its own little ecosystem, complete with a pond and a children's play stream. There's also a climbing garden in the surroundings. Gargazzone is family-friendly: The large playground, covering around 5,000 sqm, along with several smaller playgrounds, offers plenty of space to let off steam, earning the village the "child-friendly municipality" award.
