A hiking holiday in South Tyrol in a prime location
Our bio vitalhotel is also a hiking hotel near Merano. On the one hand, this is thanks to senior host and hotel founder Walter Theiner, who has a great passion for hiking. As a certified hiking guide , he enjoys recommending routes to our guests and sharing his extensive knowledge. On the other hand, our location makes us the perfect base for a hiking holiday in South Tyrol. Around our hotel, you can enjoy gentle alpine walks, climb breathtaking peaks or embark on extensive high-altitude tours, all while benefiting from our comprehensive hiking services.
Depending on what you feel like, your fitness and ability, you can hike along gentle forest paths, across blooming alpine meadows or up to rugged summits. Families with children love the Waalwege irrigation paths around Merano, while those with a head for heights venture onto the high-altitude trails in the Gruppo di Tessa, into the Dolomites or the Ortles area. With the South Tyrol GuestPass and public transport, you can reach everything quickly and free of charge.
Julia, our hiking guide and the driving force behind the activity programme, takes you hiking in the Italian Alps twice a week, or even three times during hiking weeks. A sunrise hike for early risers is always part of the programme. In addition, you can join further hikes organised by the local tourism association.
To make your hiking holiday in South Tyrol perfect, we offer a few thoughtful extras such as our boot room with drying facilities, laundry service for your hiking clothes (for a fee), as well as high-quality walking poles and maps available for hire. We’re also happy to recommend the most beautiful day tours.
