The Merano High Trekking Route is one of the most beautiful in the whole Alpine area. With relatively small differences in altitude, to a certain extent it connects the high mountain climate of the Texelgruppe and the sub-Mediterranean climate of the Merano basin. As if from a panorama terrace you can view Vinschgau valley, the Merano basin, the Passeiertal valley as well as the Sarntal valley, Stubai and Ötztal Alps. On a clear day you feel you can reach out and touch the Dolomites, the Brenta group and the Ortler-Cevedale massif. You can also experience at first hand the world of the mountain farmers, who have laboured for centuries to make this mountain and pasture landscape hospitable. In addition, the route leads around and through the 33,000 hectare large Texelgroup Nature Park, passing lakes, valleys and peaks. This is an excellent way of becoming acquainted with the vast range of contrasts characteristic of this mountain world.
