The Monte Corno visitor centre is located in the building of the “old mill” in the centre of Trodena. Under the theme “Make visible the hidden” it gives information on the biodiversity of the Nature Park Monte Corno. Furthermore, the visitor also gets information about the geological structure, the flora and fauna of the nature park as well as on the culture and history of the place. Centrepiece of the house is certainly the electricity-powered elevator mill buildt 1948-49. It's three stories high and the only one in South Tyrol which works today. The flour, which is being grinded in the summer season on the mill grinding days, is used for baking bread.

In the year 2020 we enjoy 40 years Nature Park.

The Visit centre is open also on Sunday during the months July, August and September.

 

The Touriseum – South Tyrol Museum for Tourism – takes visitors on a captivating journey through the evolution of holidaymaking in the Alps. Housed in Trauttmansdorff Castle, once the retreat of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the museum has been inspiring curious minds since its opening in 2003. Spanning 20 imaginatively designed themed rooms, the exhibition explores how South Tyrol transformed from a remote mountain landscape into a cosmopolitan destination of global appeal.

From the very first step inside, it becomes clear: this is no conventional museum. The Touriseum invites guests to play, discover, and reflect – through life-size stage sets, hands-on displays, and clever storytelling. One moment you’re navigating a coach through a dramatic gorge, the next you’re checking into a grand hotel or accompanying a 1950s family on holiday. Highlights include vintage travel posters by celebrated Merano artist Franz Lenhart – graphic testimonies to the art of seduction in early tourism marketing.

History here is not just told – it is experienced. The second floor is home to the Sissi Rooms, where original furnishings and personal touches evoke the spa routines of Empress Elisabeth, who helped put Merano on the map as an elite resort in the 19th century. Throughout the museum, interactive multimedia stations offer the voices of locals and visitors, each adding their own perspective to South Tyrol’s cultural transformation.

A special feature of the Touriseum is its multilingual approach: all exhibitions are presented in German and Italian, with increasing content available in English – making it highly accessible for international and younger audiences. The tone is playful, even witty – perfectly embodied in the museum’s showpiece: the world’s largest tourism-themed pinball machine, where visitors can follow the highs and lows of tourism history with a flick of the wrist.

But the Touriseum offers more than historical knowledge – it inspires curiosity about social change, design, and regional identity. The museum itself is thoughtfully curated, both visually and conceptually, and forms the perfect gateway to the nearby Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, a botanical wonderland well worth exploring in its own right.

A visit to the Touriseum is a journey into the heart of South Tyrol’s identity – where stories are told with humour, depth, and style. It’s a must for anyone who wants to go beyond the surface and understand the cultural DNA of the region.

The Palais Mamming Museum, also known as the Merano Municipal Museum, stands as one of South Tyrol's oldest and most distinguished cultural institutions. Founded in 1900, it has been housed since 2015 in a beautifully restored Baroque palace on Pfarrplatz square.
Originally constructed in 1675 for the Freiherren von Mamming, the building is a striking fusion of historic architecture and contemporary design, offering an inspiring backdrop for the museum's rich and varied collection.
With over 100,000 objects and a Tyrolensia collection of 30,000 volumes, the museum offers an unparalleled journey through the history of Merano and the entire Tyrol region. The permanent exhibition unfolds across 27 thematic sections, guiding visitors through the epochs – from prehistory to the Middle Ages, Baroque art, and the rise of modernity.
Highlights:
 An Egyptian mummy, providing a fascinating glimpse into the mysteries of ancient burial rituals.
 A collection of Sudanese weapons from the estate of Slatin Pasha, an Austrian officer who made Merano his home.
 The renowned "Meran" typewriter by Peter Mitterhofer, a key figure in the invention of the typewriter.
 Napoleon's death mask, an impressive relic from the Napoleonic era.
Beyond these extraordinary historical artifacts, the museum also showcases works by prominent artists such as Friedrich Wasmann and Leo Putz, capturing the artistic evolution of the region. The collection is further enriched by minerals, fossils, and photographs, offering a comprehensive view of the region’s diverse cultural and natural heritage.
The Palais Mamming Museum is more than just a repository of history – it is a thriving cultural hub. It regularly hosts vernissages, readings, and various cultural events, making it a dynamic space for creativity and reflection.
For anyone with a passion for history, art, and culture, a visit to the Palais Mamming Museum is an absolute must. It not only offers profound insights into the past of Merano and South Tyrol but also invites visitors to discover the intricate connections between history and contemporary culture.

The Plattner farm house in Wolfsgruben is more than 600 years old. The Gramm Family, a mercantile family from Bolzano, has carried out an exemplary restoration of it liaising closely with the provincial historic preservation agency and so, also because of its unique location, it is one of the most picturesque farmsteads in the region. Today it accommodates a bee-keeping museum that illustrates in a lively and vivid way the sweet art of making honey. The magnificent Plattnerhof is the largest private collection of South Tyrol’s beekeeping and it is also a monument of rural architecture and savoir vivre. A nature trail on the picturesque hill near to the house explains the world of bees to visitors.

The Plattner Bienenhof offers various products around bees and honey.

In this museum, Reinhold Messner deals with the final aspect of the conflict between man and the mountains; the heritage of the mountains and the people who have lived in them since time immemorial.

The fifth Messner Mountain Museum was opened in summer 2011 in Bruneck Castle by the well-known mountaineer Reinhold Messner. There are countless exhibits from everyday life. With the interactive "MMM Mountain Peoples" project, Reinhold Messner aims not to "exhibit" people, but rather to invite them to take part in an exchange of experience with the local rural population.

Every year guests from another mountain region will spend the summer in the Messner Mountain Peoples Museum and talk about their way of life, accompanied by everyday cultural exhibits belonging to different mountain regions and their inhabitants, including the Sherpas, Incas, Tibetans and Mongolians.

In the heart of Merano’s lively old town, surrounded by narrow alleys and bustling squares, stands a remarkable piece of Tyrolean history: the Prince’s Castle. Dating back to the 15th century, this late Gothic residence invites visitors to step into a world of noble grandeur, political power, and refined courtly life.
Built around 1470 by Duke Sigismund of Austria – known by the nickname "der Münzreiche" (rich in coin) – from the House of Habsburg, the castle was never intended as a fortress. Rather, it was conceived as a prestigious city residence, reflecting Merano’s significance at the time as the capital of Tyrol. Strategically placed in the center of this prosperous trading town, the castle symbolized the Duke’s influence and Merano’s status as a seat of political and economic power.
From the very first glance, the building reveals its purpose: not defense, but display. Elegant oriel windows, frescoes, and finely carved wooden ceilings reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the late Gothic era and the Duke’s patronage of the arts. The castle served as an administrative headquarters, a residential palace, and a venue for ceremonial occasions and courtly festivities.
Interesting Insights:
- Duke Sigismund was an enthusiastic patron of architecture and is believed to have commissioned master builders from across South Tyrol – possibly even Peter von Erenstein, one of the leading Gothic architects of his time.
- Today, the Prince’s Castle offers a rare glimpse into aristocratic life in the late Middle Ages. Visitors can explore original rooms that have been carefully preserved: from the knight’s hall to private living quarters, from the castle kitchen to the paneled chambers once used for banquets and political meetings. Highlights include the intricately carved furnishings, a remarkably intact smoke room, and the richly decorated ceilings.
- Another highlight is the collection of late Gothic artworks housed within the castle. Altarpieces, sculptures, and paintings offer insight into the era’s spiritual and artistic worldview – making the castle a true treasure trove for lovers of history and culture.
After Merano lost its political prominence in the 16th century, the castle gradually faded into obscurity. Over the centuries, it served various purposes – from courthouse to military barracks – before being extensively restored in the 20th century. Today, the Prince’s Castle is both a museum and a living monument. Within its historic walls, the past feels tangible.
Here, the grandeur of Merano’s princely era still resonates – and one might even sense the visionary spirit of Duke Sigismund, who helped shape the destiny of this remarkable town.

Spread across 500 square metres, it offers a diverse programme featuring exhibitions, readings, performances, concerts, and more. But Kunsthaus Meran isn’t some lofty, exclusive space – it’s a welcoming meeting place for everyone: art lovers, locals, international visitors, and even those just passing by.

Since 2001, the art association Kunst Meran-Merano Arte has showcased contemporary art in all its forms here – visual arts, photography, architecture, new media, music, and literature. The aim? To amplify diverse perspectives, especially those that have been overlooked in traditional art history. There’s a special focus on female narratives and voices from the Global South.

The building itself is a fascinating blend of old and new: narrow, winding passageways, a nod to the structure’s historic past, contrast with sleek, modern interior design. Light floods through the glass ceiling, creating a bright, inviting space where you’ll want to linger.

A visit is always worthwhile – even if it’s just to soak up the unique atmosphere. You can also browse the museum shop for books and catalogues to take a piece of the experience home with you.

Whether you’re ready to dive deep into the artworks or simply looking for a little inspiration, Kunsthaus Merano welcomes you with open arms. Stop by, let yourself be surprised, and discover just how multifaceted contemporary art can be.

With the exception of a small projection room on the third floor – which you can only reach via a few steps or a mobile ramp – Kunsthaus Meran is fully accessible throughout. A modern lift (120 x 120 cm) takes you safely and comfortably from one floor to the next. You can easily pick up the key at the front desk.

And if you’re looking for an accessible toilet, you’ll find one in the basement – of course, easy to reach as well.

Admission fees
Adults € 7.00
Reduced fee € 5.00
Students up to age 26 € 2.00
Children up to age 14 free admission

The Nature Park Visitor Center of Villnöss brings visitors closer to nature and is the perfect place to dwell on. A walkable aerial photo gives visitors a bird‘s eye perspective of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park. The exhibition area “Touch the mountains” focuses on the key topic - the geology of the Dolomites. The Puez-Geisler Nature Park has been designated the “Dolomites site office” because it is home to all of the rock types, deposits and weathering that are typically found in the Dolomites. The Puez-Geisler Nature Park in the Dolomites is estendet on a area of the 3 valleys: Gadertal valley, Gröden valley and Villnöss valley.  The “Nature’s treasure trove” on the second floor contains plenty to discover: animal fur, bird’s eggs, feathers, footprints, droppings, teeth, antlers, medicinal herbs … all of which - and much more - is on display and can be touched! The “Conquering Mountains” room is primarily dedicated to alpinism. The world’s probably most famous alpinist, Reinhold Messner, comes from Villnöss. He talks about his experiences in the mountains in a short film. The “Puez-Geisler Nature Park film” is also shown daily in the mountain cinema. Leave your stress at home, discover the world of the mountains, and feel like a hunter in the woods.

The museum is located in Hotel Mondschein in the centre of Sesto. It was realised by Mr. Stabinger with a lot of love for detail.

Since 2011 the Schluderns Gate Tower in Glurns hosts a permanent exhibition concerning the history of this little medieval town, such as trade, customs, daily life and curiosities.

Amidst palm trees and promenades, in the heart of Merano, lies a place that brings to life a nearly forgotten chapter of the city’s history: the Jewish Museum and Synagogue. Housed in an elegant Art Nouveau building from 1901, this cultural landmark preserves the memory of a small yet influential Jewish community – one that helped shape Merano’s golden age. When Empress Elisabeth of Austria chose Merano as her spa retreat, the city soon attracted not only aristocrats and artists but also prominent Jewish families from Vienna, Prague, and Budapest. They brought economic vitality, built elegant villas, hotels, and sanatoriums, and became important patrons of art, science, and culture. Many ran thriving businesses tied to the spa industry. The Jewish contribution to Merano’s development is still visible today – for those who look closely, traces remain throughout the city, including at the Jewish cemetery. At the center of this rich legacy stands the Synagogue on Schillerstraße street, still an active house of worship and home to the museum’s moving permanent exhibition. Here, visitors can explore the lives of Jewish families in Merano – their beginnings, achievements, and daily routines, but also the painful chapters of persecution during the Nazi era, the devastation of the community, and the difficult rebuilding after World War II. A special highlight of the Jewish Museum is its collection of original ritual objects: Torah scrolls, Kiddush cups, and Chanukah menorahs offer a deeply personal glimpse into the religious and social traditions  photographs, and first-hand accounts make the past tangible in profoundly human terms. The Synagogue also houses one of the few remaining Art Nouveau Torah arks in the world – an architectural rarity of exceptional beauty. For those who pause and listen, the museum speaks in quiet, intimate tones: of people who once strolled along the Passer River, stayed in refined spa hotels, and helped shape Merano’s cultural life. And of those who, even in the face of adversity, preserved their faith, their stories, and their community.
Today, the Jewish Museum is not only a place of remembrance – it is a space of dialogue and cultural exchange. Alongside guided tours, it hosts regular events that bridge the past and the present, inviting reflection and connection. For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Merano, this quiet and remarkable place is a must. Tucked between the Passer Promenade and the Kurhaus, it reveals a chapter of history as moving as it is essential.

Henrik Ibsen was a great lover of the once climatic spa. Today you can find a nice collection of fotos, documents and more of Ibsens vacation stay.
Open Monday to Friday morning and Wednesday afternoon.

An old villa, a lush park, and stories waiting beneath the surface – Villa Freischütz in Merano is more than just a museum. It’s a place of memory, a lens into a time often overlooked in South Tyrol: the interwar years. Built in 1909 as a summer residence, the villa bore witness to Merano’s golden age as a spa destination. But what makes its collection truly unique is its authenticity: the legacy of the von Franz Fromm family, who lived in the house for nearly a century. Here, history isn’t pieced together from textbooks. It lives in the furniture, the photographs, the clothing, the handwritten notes. It tells of a world in transition – of monarchy fading, Italian rule emerging, and a society caught between tradition and change.
Exciting Insights:
• The collection features more than 10,000 original objects – many of them carefully arranged throughout the house to evoke the feel of a lived-in home.
• The villa offers intimate “living room tours”: guests can wander freely through parlors, studies, and bedrooms, guided by the personal stories behind the objects.
• A highlight: the expansive park with towering old trees and hidden sculptures – perfect for reflecting after a journey through time.
For culture lovers, Villa Freischütz offers a different perspective on Merano. Not just as a refined spa town, but as a mirror of social and political transformation. The museum’s concept is intentionally personal: there are no long-winded wall texts or physical barriers. Instead, letters, accessories, and household items speak for themselves – sometimes quietly, sometimes disarmingly direct. Among jazz records and Art Nouveau vases, patriotic postcards and delicate diary entries, a rich mosaic unfolds – layered, complex, and deeply human.
This is no conventional museum. It’s a home that invites exploration, reflection, and conversation. And that’s precisely what makes Villa Freischütz one of the most fascinating places for those who don’t just want to study history – but truly feel it.

At the tractor museum, 30 Porsche Diesels from various model years can be examined. An experience for young and old alike!

Opened in 2001, the Ladin Ciastel de Tor Museum brings visitors closer to the history, language, culture, archaeology, geology, legendary world, crafts and tourist development of the Ladin valleys in the Dolomites.

In the halls and inner courtyard of the castle built in the 13th century, exhibitions, concerts and seminars are held as well as meetings on various themes and aspects related to the Ladin language and culture.

A visit to the museum brings to light the most important events of the past and partly present life of the Ladin people, highlighting the significant influences of extra-regional events on their lives.

The Museum Ladin Ciastel de Tor is in a Mediaeval structure, so only a few of the exhibition areas are accessible to wheelchair users. However, the temporary exhibition is easily accessible to everyone.

Schneeberg - the highest located mine in Europe
