La dolce VitaThe heart of the Alps and the charm of the Mediterranean at the gates of Merano

Impressions thoughts on a journey...
Magical moments... of happiness
It goes without saying that you should have a South Tyrolean alpine salami and some crunchy "Schüttelbrot" bread in your backpack when you go on a hike. Our hiking guides Sonia, Kurti and the two Erichs will take you along the famous Alta Via di Merano to the waterfall or the lakes of Sopranes, one of the highest groups of lakes in the Alps at 2,450 metres.
We are always delighted to hear our guests raving about how lovely it is to swim towards the sun at 7 a.m. in the new VISTA pool, which rises behind the peaks of Hirzer-Ifinger.
They're right; they say it is something truly special, and we can only agree with them.
