Active and eventful holidays in Merano

Outwards and upwards! Listen to the call of the wild, the mountains, the snow, the meadows, the forests. Pleasant hiking trails, challenging rock faces, enchanting snowy landscapes, daredevil pistes ... there are any number of routes, runs, climbs and paths awaiting those who want to do more than just relax on holiday.

Feel the fresh Alpine air in every cell of your body and marvel at landscapes that seem to be straight off a postcard. The Meraner Land and the mountains around the Hotel Mesnerwirt are the place for outdoor enthusiasts, sports lovers and explorers to really show their stuff. Exercise is still the finest form of physical and mental relaxation. Enjoy bike tours along scenic cycle paths and trails that have the “wow” factor, hiking and climbing in summer, snow shoeing, Alpine and cross-country skiing in winter, or paragliding all year round, in or indeed above the sunny mountains. For adventurers and explorers the Hotel Mesnerwirt is truly “the place to be”.

Your mountain bike tyres grip the earth, your fingers grasp the warm rock – explorers and adrenalin junkies can find the perfect spot on the high plateau of the Tschögglberg mountain. Hotelier Manfred Gruber is an accredited mountain bike guide who takes his guests in person on his favourite bike tours. “I show our guests the most beautiful parts of the region and we also have a few secrets up our sleeves.”

Fill your lungs with chill winter air, gather momentum, push off and zoom down the glittering slope! Your skis skim over the beautifully prepared piste as you rush past white-topped trees. For winter sports fans the Hotel Mesnerwirt is the destination, located in the midst of mountains, with snow guaranteed. The Meran 2000 ski area lies just around the corner. Wide, soft blankets of snow are just waiting for a path to be cleared with snow shoes into the fairy-tale forest. Snow shoes can be hired directly from reception at the Hotel Mesnerwirt.

Tobogganing, cross-country skiing, winter walks – on the pistes, in the forest, across the broad white meadows or high above on the summits: in Meran and its environs winter can be seen in all its glory, from quiet and peaceful to wild and untamed!
