Apple Blossoms in Meraner Land
What cherry blossoms are to Japan, apple blossoms are to South Tyrol. As thick and red-cheeked as the ripe apples hang from the branches in autumn, so fragrant, light, and delicate pink are the millions of blossoms that adorn the landscape in spring. The Hotel Golserhof & the Hotel Zirmerhof warmly welcome you to experience this natural spectacle up close.
Flower Festival Days in Merano and Environs
If you are planning a hiking vacation in South Tyrol, apple blossom season is a wonderful time to visit. The apple blossom season in South Tyrol around Merano is as unique as spring itself. While the valley landscape is transformed into a fragrant sea of flowers and palm trees exude a Mediterranean feel, the snow of the departing winter still lies high up in the mountains.
The Merano Flower Festival features floral installations and creations, workshops for all ages, a display of ornamental plants, and lectures on the world of botany—a true feast for the senses.
Held every spring right in front of the magnificent Art Nouveau Kurhaus Meran building on the elegant Kurpromenade, the Merano Flower Festival celebrates the diversity of rare plants, flowers, and shrubs with exhibitors from across Europe.
