About Meran
Meran (Merano) in South Tyrol combines alpine flair with a Mediterranean lifestyle like no other place in the Alps. Palms and cypress trees line the Passer promenade, while snow-capped peaks rise in the background. The Therme Meran designed by star architect Matteo Thun, the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, and the historic spa town atmosphere make Meran the perfect place for enjoyment and relaxation. The South Tyrolean cuisine combines the best of Italy and Austria.
