By the turn of the last century Merano/Meran had developed into a health resort of world renown exuding its own unique charm. Now, a century later, the town is once again at the forefront of the world's leading spa and health resorts.
Glass facades provide views of the surrounding high mountain scenery, while local products form the basis of treatments, and the thermal water containing radon with its muscle-relaxing properties comes from a depth of 2 km. Modern spa enthusiasts have taken the place of the earlier health resort visitors. With 25 pools, 8 saunas and steam baths, a fitness and health centre, pampering and well-being have attained a cult status.
