Your holiday – Merano region
Holidays in the Merano region
Asking about the weather is most of the time the first thing your family and friends back home will do once you get back from a holiday. If you are on a holiday in the Merano region, you will know the answer already in advance: sunny! Because here, the sun shines on 315 days a year. Which is why Naturno and the Merano region count among the sunniest regions of South Tyrol.
Alpine and Mediterranean
Due to the good weather and the warm temperatures, you can also find an unparalleled natural diversity where Mediterranean meets Alpine like nowhere else.
Nature
Mountains with a height of more than 3,000 metres piercing the sky, Passo dello Stelvio, the Texelgruppe and the Parcines waterfall. The Merano region also plays a vital role in our culinary delights.
Living history. Wondrous nature.
The former capital of Tyrol is located at a distance of twelve kilometres from Naturno: Merano. For centuries, this jewel with its narrow alleys, its serenity and the Italian flair and joy of life has known how to amaze its visitors. During your holiday in Naturno, you should definitely not miss strolling through this marvellous city, sipping Italian coffee specialities and going window-shopping along its many small boutiques. Bigger than Merano is only Bolzano: South Tyrol’s largest city is about 40 kilometres away from your DolceVita Hotel Feldhof in Naturno and is said to be the gate to the Dolomites. There, you will find many first-class restaurants, shops and events.

He has been the subject of many myths, some people even say that he is cursed: we are, of course, talking about Ötzi, the iceman. He was found not far from Naturno and today is at display at the Ötzi Museum in Bolzano. At the archeoParc in the Val Senales valley you can immerse yourself in the environment of the Iceman, while at the Val Senales Glacier you will get pretty close to the place where he was found. Reinhold Messner`s Juval Castle is less mysterious but you can visit it for a small additional charge. If you have ever wanted to travel through time, you just have to pay the city of Glorenza a visit. The smallest town in the Alps still looks like it did in medieval times. With town gates, defensive walls and everything else that goes with it. Other day trip destinations include the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, lake Resia with its church tower being almost submerged and lake Kaltern which is said to be the warmest lake in the Alps and where diving is possible.
