Summer in Meransen

in love with the mountains

Sun-kissed, enjoyable and close to nature. This is how summer in the Gitschberg-Jochtal alpine region feels. Meransen is the perfect base for a hiking holiday in the Dolomites. Here are our personal insider tips for your next adventure in the mountains:
Hiking in the alpine region Rio Pusteria
Let’s put it this way: summer, Maranza and hiking - the three things simply belong together. Valles, Maranza and the Fundres Valley are all top destinations for hikers. The absolute calm of the mountains, the unspoilt nature and rustic idyll of the alpine pastures, and refuge huts with magnificent views mean that every hike becomes an unforgettable experience.

The sunny plateau where Meransen lies is the perfect base for all kinds of mountain biking adventures. It doesn't matter whether you're an experienced pro or a leisure cyclist - there’s a route for everyone here. Take the forest tracks up to the high alpine pastures, zip down the mountain on downhill runs, or go for a leisurely pedal down in the valley along the popular South Tyrol cycle path. So, what are you waiting for? Time to get in the saddle!

Nordic walking
Yes, the Bacherhof loves the good life! We recommend Nordic walking as a balanced way of getting a fitness kick. In Meransen there are several panoramic Nordic walking trails that you can discover either alone or in a group. All you need is the urge to exercise in the fresh air, a pair of trainers and sticks. We will be happy to loan you the Nordic walking sticks.
