Val Passiria, in the heart of the nature reserve Parco Naturale del Gruppo Tessa, between the town of Merano and the Rombo and Giovo passes, is one of the most beautiful valleys of South Tyrol, and the one with the most contrasting characteristics. This is the ideal place for people who love sport holidays, but also for those who are looking for peace and quiet. Hikers will thoroughly enjoy the more than 300 km of trails and will be able to choose from pleasant walks along the Passirio stream, beautiful guided tours organized by the Tourism Association to discover the different aspects of this land, and exciting tours to the mountain peaks.
Families and kids can choose among a large variety of activities: hikes with Murmi Sepp, tours to discover the forest and its animals, and entertainment programmes with many games, football tournaments, horse-drawn carriage rides and nights in the castle… Golfers have at their disposal the fantastic 18 hole golf course of the Golf Club Passiria Merano, beautifully merging with the wonderful landscape of the valley.
People who decide to spend their holiday in Val Passiria can also enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view on the mountains and stop in one of the typical chalets to try the Tyrolean snack made with speck, cheese and whole wheat bread. Val Passiria is a true paradise for gourmets: the distinctive flavors of local tradition merge with the excellent dishes of Mediterranean cuisine and are accompanied by fine wines that will delight even the most demanding gourmet.
