Playing golf among fruit orchards or up on the Alpine pastures, or mountain biking on the numerous trails, are all fun ways to keep fit. Hiking is possible at three different levels: in the valley are the Waalwege (paths along ancient irrigation channels); cable cars take you up to the lofty heights of the Meran high-mountain trail; while the 3000-metre peaks are for serious mountaineering. On your return, take off your pack, lean back, relax and replenish lost energy with Kaiserschmarren, tasty sweet pancakes.
Did you know that Peter Mitterhofer, the inventor of the typewriter, was born and buried in Partschins? The Roman milestone outside, the Ötzi ArcheoParc in the Schnalstal Valley, South Tyrol’s highest waterfall: there is so much to explore around the Hanswirt on the ancient Via Claudia Augusta.
Castles, shoes, local delicacies
There are stately residences, forts and castles wherever you look between the vineyards and the cypress trees. The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, the Ötzi Museum, the spa town of Meran and the trade hub of Bozen all invite you to visit. Take a stroll through the historic alleys, enjoying Italian fashion along the shopping arcades. Farmer’s markets and health food shops offer high-quality produce, Made in South Tyrol.
