Hiking holidays
in Merano and South Tyrol
Waalwege
The paths along the irrigation channels (German: Waalwege) extend over the roof of Merano to the Val d'Adige foothills and embrace the Merano basin. The paths are mostly flat and offer the opportunity of a pleasant hike amidst nature just outside the city.
The Sentieri d’aqua Meranesi is a network of trails that encompasses the entire Merano Valley Basin, allowing for an 80-km hike all around the city area. All trails are walkable allyear long and offer splendid panoramic views on the surrounding mountains and valleys. The route runs through eleven municipalities: Lagundo (Algund), Tirolo (Tirol), Caines (Kuens), Rifiano (Riffian), Merano (Meran), Scena (Schenna), Postal (Burgstall), Lana, Cermes (Tscherms), Marlengo (Marling), Parcines (Partschins), Naturno (Naturns) and Rablà (Rabland).
