The farms and houses of Montescena (Schennaberg) extend along the eponymous slope above Scena. Here you are on the steep meadows at the foot of the Picco Ivigna, which can be easily reached by cable car from Scena village. An alternative is the mountain road that takes you up here and to the old mountain inns of Videgg, a small hamlet. Montescena is best known as a hiking area: A dense network of trails of varying difficulty stretches through the landscape, and those who want to reach high altitudes can even climb the summit of Mt. Ivigna.

Three of these trails on the Montescena are the Scena Farm Trail, the Scena Waalweg path below it, which marks the boundary of the district of Montescena, and the Taser High Route. The eponymous Taser Mountain Hut is a hamlet with a rest point, accommodation, a lake and a playground. There used to be also a high ropes course in the forest above. The Ivigna Hut is Just below the forest limit on the Montescena and offers a view on the Punta Cervina, known for its typical Tyrolean specialities such as Kaiserschmarrn (torn pancakes made from a sweet batter).

In the warm months, the mountain huts and farm taverns in Montescena organise a special event on every third Thursday between April and October . That's when the "Berger Pfinstig" takes place with folk music and delicious peasant dishes: "Pfinstig" is the dialect expression for Thursday. In winter, one of the toboggan runs in Merano & surroundings is located on the Montescena.
