Skiing in the Meran region
Snow, skis and a cheerful disposition are all you need for a memorable skiing holiday in the Meran area. And glorious sunshine is an added bonus! The three fantastic nearby ski areas of Ultental, Schnalstal and Meran 2000 offer everything a winter sports enthusiast could desire: challenging slopes, fun-filled halfpipes and plenty of après-ski action at the mountain huts.
Snowshoeing
Your snowshoes leave big tracks in the deep snow as you immerse yourself in the distinctive winter allure of South Tyrol, far removed from the ski resorts and busy slopes. It’s a uniquely serene experience – only the sound of your footsteps crunching through the snow and the comforting melodies of nature surround you. And your breath, in its rhythmic counterpoint. An extensive network of trails and adventurous routes stretches across the Meran region, into small side valleys and across high plateaus up to above the tree line. The view up there is nothing short of breathtaking!

Ski touring opens up a whole new realm of snow-filled adventures. Trade the ski lifts for climbing skins and ascend on foot with skis strapped to your feet.
