Above Scena, the farms and houses of Montescena (Schennaberg) spread across the steep slopes of the mountain bearing the same name. Here, at the foot of the majestic Picco Ivigna, you can easily reach the higher meadows by cable car from Scena village. Alternatively, the mountain road leads you up to the small hamlet of Videgg with its traditional mountain inns.

Montescena is particularly renowned as a hiking area: A dense network of trails of varying difficulty criss-crosses the landscape. For those aiming high, the summit of the Picco Ivigna can be conquered. Three popular routes are the Scena Farm Trail, the Scena Waalweg path, which marks the boundary of the Montescena district, and the Taser High Route.

Located along this latter is the Taser Mountain Hut, a small hamlet with refreshments, accommodation, a pond, and a playground. In the past, there was even a high rope course in the forest above. Just below the treeline stands the Ivigna Mountain Hut, offering views of Mt. Punta Cervina and serving specialities such as "Kaiserschmarrn" with icing sugar and cranberry jam.

In summer, the alpine pastures, restaurants, and farm taverns invite you to the "Berger Pfinstig" every Thursday. This festival - "Pfinstig" is the local term for Thursday - features a children's programme, folk music, and delicious farm-fresh dishes. In winter, the hamlet boasts one of the toboggan runs in Merano and surroundings: the one-kilometre-long Montescena toboggan run.
