Walking and hiking in the Merano area
Walks around Algund range from gentle paths through orchards to more demanding routes. The hosts also recommend the Ochsentodweg towards Dorf Tirol (Tirolo). More experienced hikers may enjoy the Merano High Mountain Trail. Check distances, elevation gain and trail conditions before setting out.
Cycling in the Adige Valley
The Via Claudia Augusta runs through the valley, offering cycling routes towards Merano and the Vinschgau Valley. Some outings can be combined with a train journey. When you return, bicycles can be stored in the residence’s lockable bike room.

Algund and Merano in the colder months
