Quintessence of Nature & Culture: excursions in Tirolo
“Walking is a healing experience.
A way to inject new life in your body and soul”
Up and down on the mountains, amidst silent and bizarre rocks. Through pine forests, colourful blooms, with your heart full of joy. Above the Merano rooftops, with views of the south and the horizon that appears endless. Romantic pergolas, palms, flourishing terraced vineyards, the beating life and the traditions still strongly rooted.
Tirolo moves ... and touches your soul. From all directions.
Unforgettable days among the mountains and in the valleys
Tirolo goes hand in hand with culture & nature, with typical South Tyrol but also Mediterranean elements, Earls & castles, walking excursions & the “Dolce Vita”. In short: a pinnacle of senses. Discover Tirolo: on foot, on two wheels, from the top of the cableways. For example from the slightly vintage one-place chairlift that connects the old town of Merano with Tirolo, ancient home of the Earls of Tirolo. And after enjoying the views, it will be difficult to go back.
