Merano and surroundings, the area surrounding the spa town of Merano, situated between Nalles and Naturno - roughly 30 kilometres apart - offers remarkable diversity. Thanks to the mild climate, olive trees thrive here alongside palm trees, cypresses, and vineyards. In the background, the often snow-capped peaks of the Texel Group, home to the renowned Sopranes Lakes, rise.

Merano itself is also multifaceted: The town boasts a vibrant cultural programme encompassing film, theatre, music, and exhibitions throughout the year. Sports enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy at the horse racing track, the Meranarena, the Merano Thermal Baths, or the Merano 2000 Skiing Area. And if you want to experience the famous Haflinger horses up close, a detour to nearby Avelengo (Hafling) - their homeland - is a must.
