Top 10 hiking & excursion tips in our area:

Hiking & climbing

Whether an exciting mountain or climbing tour to the Monte Ivigna, a leisurely hike along a Waalweg path, a family excursion to the hiking resort Merano 2000 or a leisurely stroll amidst the orchards - with over 200 km of well-marked and signposted hiking trails, Scena and its surroundings are a true hiker's paradise. Directly from our Residence, many Waalweg paths and hiking trails wind through forests and meadows up to the Hirzer hiking area, to the Montescena/Schennanberg hiking area and to the hiking resort Merano 2000. Also on the Monte San Vigilio, on the Monzoccolo ridge - with the Salto and the Stoanernen Mandln - and on the Texel Group you can take a pleasant hike, a leisurely walk or a challenging mountain tour. Once at the top, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Texel Group, the Sarntal Alps and the Vinschgau/Val Venosta valley. Many modern lifts, such as the Taser cable car (15 minutes' walk away), the Verdines-Talle cable car and the Merano 2000 cable car (8 minutes' drive away), make it easy and effortless to reach the hiking areas. And there’s more: at the mountain station of the Merano 2000 cable car there are many exciting attractions for young and old, such as the Alpin Bob and the Outdoor Kids Camp. What else to say …. Put on your hiking boots, ready, go!

Spring in Merano

Merano

Only 6 km from our Residence Alpstein, the picturesque spa town of Merano invites you to take a leisurely walk or a pleasant shopping tour. The Alpine-Mediterranean atmosphere and the special urban flair make Merano a unique city in the Alpine region. A walk through the flowering gardens and suggestive promenades is the best way to admire the lush, Alpine-Mediterranean vegetation featuring palm trees, olive trees, cypresses, apple orchards and fir trees. We highly recommend a visit to the Botanical Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle and to the adjacent Touriseum. Meanwhile, shopaholics can get their money's worth in the historic Laubengasse (Arcade Alley) with pretty shops and sophisticated boutiques. And wellness lovers can enjoy the Merano Thermal Baths: a true joy for body and soul!

Winter

Whether skiing on Merano 2000, winter hiking on the Monte San Vigilio or cross-country skiing in Avelengo - Scena & surroundings are a great winter destination! The family-friendly ski resort of Merano 2000 is only an 8-minute drive from our Residence. Lots of sunshine, 40 km of perfectly groomed slopes for pleasure skiers as well as pros, an exciting Snowpark and the adventurous Outdoor Kids Camp guarantee endless fun for young and old. On the other hand, mountain enthusiasts can hike along many winter hiking trails on the Tschögglberg and enjoy the downhill run with a speedy toboggan ride. At the foot of the skiing and hiking area, cross-country skiers also get their money's worth. In fact, a 3 km long cross-country trailfor skaters and classic cross-country skiers with a moderate level of difficultyleads through the snow-covered larch forest of the plateau.
Other winter hiking areas in our vicinity are the Monte San Vigilio, the Monzoccolo ridge with the Salto and the Stoanernen Mandln, the Hirzer hiking area and the rear Val Passiria valley with Plan/Pfelders and Stulles/Stulls.
