The perfectly maintained trails lead to the most stunning spots or to the mountain huts such as the Bacherhüte mountain hut, the Großberghütte hut or Kiener Alm pasture where one can stop for a break and a bite to eat.

Marvels in the environs of Meransen

In December, the atmosphere in the old South Tyrolean towns of Brixen, Klausen, Bruneck, Bozen and Meran are animated by the characteristic hustle and bustle of Christmas festivities. On the elegantly decorated stalls, the traditional Christmas markets display exquisite handmade arts and crafts and the traditional local gastronomic specialties. At Christmas time the Thermenplatz square in Merano is at its most spectacular, colourful and stylish, never failing to impress visitors. The characteristic wooden houses neatly arranged on Waltherplatz square in Bozen are no less fascinating.
