Your active holiday in South Tyrol is full of possibilities

A range of idyllic hiking trails awaits you on your active holiday near Meran. Follow the Maiser Waalweg trail, walk to Dorf Tirol, take a trip to the enchanting Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, or visit the Hirzer area and climb the Grande Picco Ivigna/Großer Ifinger, Schenna’s local mountain – what do you fancy today?

Not far from the Schenna Hotels, active holidaymakers will also find a large selection of exciting cycling and mountain biking trails for all skill levels, as well as the Heini Holzer via ferrata above Schenna and the Taser high ropes course on the Scena/Schennaberg mountain. Action, fun, and excitement guaranteed.

For horse enthusiasts, there’s no better way to explore the area around our hotels near Meran than on horseback. Enjoy a ride across picturesque meadows and idyllic fields, through dense forests, and along deep valleys, at a pace that suits you, whether it be a walk, trot, or gallop. Families with children will also find joy here, as the little ones can experience the excitement of pony rides or children’s riding sessions!

The Monticolo/Montiggl Lakes in Eppan, picturesquely situated in a forest and covering an area of around 17.8 hectares, are around 35 kilometres from Schenna. The two lakes, the large and small Monticolo/Montiggl Lakes, are located in a biotope and are a popular excursion destination, particularly in summer. On the lake’s western shore, you will find a swimming pool with a paddling pool, a water slide, and an expansive sunbathing lawn. Additionally, there are footbridges over the water and a small restaurant.

During your active holiday in South Tyrol, you can also discover Lake Caldaro/Kaltern. We recommend an exciting hike through the so-called “Spring Valley” from Monticolo/Montiggl to Lake Caldaro/Kaltern. Water lovers should definitely take the opportunity to visit Lake Caldaro/Kaltern. The approximately 155-hectare lake is the warmest in the Alps and is ideal for swimming, rowing, fishing, and windsurfing! 

For those who love swimming, additional recommended destinations include the emerald Lake Tret/Felixer Weiher in Deutschnonsberg and three of the six reservoirs in the Val d'Ultimo/Ultental valley: Lake Zoccolo/Zoggler Stausee, Lake Alborelo/Pankrazer Stausee, and Lake Fontana Bianca/Weißbrunnsee.
