Hiking holidays
in Merano in South Tyrol

Up to the high peaks of South Tyrol

For keen hikers, the Texelgruppe Nature Park offers sporty tours with views of Tyrol, the Vinschgau Valley, Merano and the Etschtal Valley.

One of the highlights of our mountain world: the Spronser Lakes. The locals say: "Here you can experience pure nature". This high mountain tour is one of the most beautiful hiking holidays in South Tyrol. It takes around 5-6 hours to walk the round trip to the Hochmuth mountain station.

If you hike from the valley station to the Hochmuth, allow approx. 3 hours; the descent can be completed in 2 hours. Alternatively, the Hochmuth cable car takes you from Dorf Tirol to the Texelgruppe Natural Park at an altitude of 1,400 metres in just 5 minutes.

Hotel hike in South Tyrol

Hiking is our passion. Every week we organise several guided hikes for our guests . Host Pepi and his son Patrick organise the hotel hike on Wednesdays – and choose suitable trails to suit the season and guests. At the Wanderhotel Erika, we select destinations that are not so easy to find on your own in order to offer a great hiking and holiday experience. We have organised hikes to the Seiser Alm, and to the Geisler Spitzen, the Möltner Kaser, Langfenn or from Raschötz to Villnöss.

On our guided hikes, you’ll discover the highlights of South Tyrol with us while learning interesting facts about the hiking areas.

If you would like to go on more guided hikes, you also have the option of taking part in guided hikes organised by external providers.

Photos and impressions of our hikes in South Tyrol can be found on the holiday photos page.

Hiking on the Merano High Mountain Trail

Walk along old mountain farm paths. Refuel at rustic mountain huts and on sun terraces. The Merano High Mountain Trail is a circular hiking trail around the central part of the Texelgruppe Nature Park.

On this almost 100 km tour, you hike from 1,400 to almost 3,000 metres in altitude. The route can be completed in several stages over 4-8 days.

The Mutspitze – the summit of the our local mountain, the Hochmuth – lies on the southern Merano High Mountain Trail. This is the perfect place to join the Merano High Mountain Trail or even just walk a section of it.

Among the highlights on the Merano High Mountain Trail are the Spronser Lakes – above Dorf Tirol – the highest lake district in South Tyrol.
