Where rich green Val Passiria meets the valleys of Val Venosta and Valle d’Adige nestles the renowned spa town of Merano. Well-sheltered by the surrounding mountains, it is known to boast a very gentle and mild climate. And this is also the reason why the quaint little town is home to oh-so lovely plants such as palms and olive trees.

The recent opening of the new thermal baths does more than justice to Merano’s reputation as a traditional health spa town. Pamper both body and soul in one of the numerous therapeutic pools at the heart of a 50,000 sqm big park. State-of-the-art facilities such as saunas, steam baths, gyms are waiting for you - let your senses loose and unwind.

In spring and summer the Botanic Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle at Merano are a very special destination. More than 80 garden worlds with plants from every corner of the world are nestled into a dramatic 12 hectare amphitheatre.
