Hotel Zirmerhof

Between glaciers and palm trees

The Zirmerhof lies between the Texel Group Nature Park with its 3,000 m peaks and the Mediterranean Meran oregion, a contrast that is unique in the Alps. In spring, when other places are still covered in snow, the hiking season here has already started and the flowers are in bloom. Autumn is also mild and lasts until November.

Description of region

The real treasure chest of Meran’s mountains begins at the southern ridge of the Texel Mountains, with the Tschigat and Mutspitze peaks in the north. A magnificent high-mountain, off-the-beaten-path hike leads up to South Tyrol’s largest group of alpine lakes. Nine dark-green lakes form a sublime scene: this barren desolation is reminiscent of Norway. In the valley below, the sunny slopes of Meran – a town renowned for its Mediterranean climate – are ideal anytime throughout the year for a delightful stroll along the Waalweg trails that run alongside ancient water channels, weaving through orchards and vineyards.
