Randonnée en poussette dans le Sud-Tyrol

The first leisure promenade in Lana was developed into an extended trail in 1888/89 by the then Teiss landlord, Alois Stauder. From the center of the village of Lana in just a few minutes you will find yourself suddenly surrounded by the "wild" nature of the enchanting Gaulschlucht gorge; splashing water, peace & quiet, steep rock faces and rope bridges.

 

The Carezza lake, considered one of the most magnificent Alpine lakes, is especially known for its deep green water and the beautiful mountain scenery in the background.

This trail runs along both banks from the Gilf Gorge down to the point where the river enters the city. On the right bank, it connects directly with the path that leads to the Powder Tower and the Tappeiner Promenade; on the left, it joins with the Summer Promenade. Gilf Promenade is particularly intriguing for its subtropical vegetation. Its Walk of Poets also makes it the most romantic of Merano’s promenades: modern and contemporary love poetry is engraved onto a series of benches here.

The trail leads from St. Nikolaus through the forest into the Auerbergtal valley and can be followed on the hiking trail as well as on the forest path. The mountain hut offers traditional alpine dishes in a rustic setting.

This scenic route, known as the Sentiero di Sissi in Italian and the Sissiweg in German, leads to the areas of town most beloved by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sissi. The charming Habsburg sovereign stayed in Merano several times in the second half of the nineteenth century, and was enchanted by its charm. This path dedicated to her connects the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle with the city centre; it passes through eleven stages along the way, each with a story to tell. From the castle that majestically dominates the botanical gardens, Sissi’s Path winds its way past Pienzenau and Rubein Castles, the Reichenbach Residence, Piazza Fontana (Brunnenplatz), Rottenstein Castle, and the Bavaria Hotel; it then continues down to the river, crosses the Roman Bridge, skirts the Wandelhalle and finally pays homage to the empress in the park dedicated to her. The park is on the edge of the Summer Promenade and there is a statue erected in Sissi’s honour. Obviously, the trail can be followed in either direction.

Very sunny and well sheltered from the wind, the Winter Promenade runs along the river; it is the natural continuation of the Passer Promenade. Its most distinctive landmark is the Wandelhalle covered passageway, which provides shelter from inclement weather. The Wandelhalle also houses a gallery of paintings depicting landscapes of South Tyrol and busts of significant figures in the city’s history.

 The Tappeinerweg Trail runs above the city from east to west. In addition to excellent sunlight, the path offers sweeping views of the town below, the Merano Valley Basin and down into the Adige Valley.

Franz Tappeiner, a doctor and medical researcher from Val Venosta who was a passionate proponent of tourism in Merano, created the promenade and donated it to the city. The four-kilometre-long path splits off from the Gilf Promenade and follows the curve of Monte Benedetto until it reaches Quarazze. In addition to typical local vegetation, cork oak, eucalyptus, lotus, pine, various species of palms including Chinese palms, bamboo, cactus, agave, magnolias and olive trees are planted along the path.

There are numerous access points from the town centre:
• the steps leading up from behind the Duomo (main cathedral) along the road that leads to Dorf Tyrol
• from Via Galilei near the chairlift to Dorf Tyrol
• near the Silvana hill on Via Verdi - CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
• from the Gilf-Promenade past the Gunppowder Tower
• on the orographic right side of the Ponte Romano

Various inns and restaurants along the path.
Bus-connection: bus-line 236 Merano-Passeggiata Tappeiner-Castel Torre or city-bus 3 (bus-stop Martinsbrunn)

Named after the torrent that flows through the city, this promenade winds along the right bank of the Passer River, in the centre of Merano/Meran. There are two stretches, one between the Ponte della Posta and Ponte Teatro, the other that hence takes to the Ponte di Ferro.

In the first part there are many artistic flower-beds, palms, ice-cream shops and cafes. Here you can admire the liberty architecture of the Kurhaus, whereas on the lower part of the promenade, surrounded by various historical buildings, you’ll find the artworks of the Human Figures project.

The promenade is easily walkable with pushchairs, too.

Due to its isolated position, Trodena still retained many testimonies of what men have conceived, built and transformed here over the centuries. On the circular route of Trodena we will learn about the centuries-old urban culture. From the town square we move towards the upper part of the town, pass in front of a 700-year-old lime tree and walk along the paved road up to the entrance to the town. From there we follow trail marker 3 to a parking lot. From the panoramic road (3A) we come to a viewing platform, a sort of balcony. from which we can admire the "3 horns": Corno Nero,

Corno Bianco and Monte Corno. This is where the geological "line" of Trodena develops. The view over the roofs of Trodena testifies to the division of the farms that has taken place for generations. We then walk until we reach the Via Cislon. From here we follow trail no. 1 to return to the starting point of Trodena, which we will reach through the historic center.

Tip: take a walk in the village to discover the "The walls tell" project ... The brochure is available at the tourist office. Also discover the Monte Corno Visitor Center

The lake of a thousand colours, Lake Carezza in Val d'Ega is the famous fairytale lake of the Dolomites, where, according to legend, a water nymph lives and in whose crystal clear waters the Catinaccio and Latemar are reflected. Lake Carezza changes colour, which is why it is also known as Lec de Ergobando - Rainbow lake.
Lake Carezza is 300 m long and 140 m wide and lies below the Latemar massif, on the edge of the Latemar forest, at 1,520 m in the Val d'Ega.  It is a protected natural monument and is fed by underground Latemar springs, which is why both its size and depth depend strongly on the season and weather conditions - the deepest depth of Lake Carezza is recorded at 22 m.

The Fiechteralm can be reached from Weißbrunn on foot on the forest road (suitable for prams) or on hiking trail 101. Traditional alpine dishes as well as butter, cheese made from cow and goat's milk, cream cheese, yoghurt, game and grilled specialties from the wood grill await you on the Alm (Sundays). There is a children's playground on the Alm.

Explore the serene beauty of Val d'Anna with a relaxing walk that culminates in a small Kneipp path, ideal for rejuvenating body and mind. The walk is suitable for all and easily accessible even with a stroller.
