Meraner Land - Holiday Code
ISTS1
| • |
Imagine an unspoilt mountain getaway that oozes Italian warmth and laid-back Austrian charm. |
| • |
Grand fortresses and castles embedded in orchards and vineyards, glorious scenery, culinary delights and superlative walking. |
| • |
Alpine landscape meets Mediterranean climate - the region boasts an amazing 300 sunny days a year. |
This part of the eastern Italian Alps, which straddles the Italian-Austrian border, is known officially in Italy as Trentino-Alto Adige, but to most people as Südtirol (South Tyrol). It offers some of the most appealing scenery in Italy combined with some of the best walking in Europe. Castles are a big feature of the area, and walking from castle to castle is a popular activity. There are over 350 of them perched on hilltops and nestling in vineyards.
The Meraner Land is the gem of this region - here you will find apple orchards and lush wine-growing valleys, snow-capped mountains, flowers in abundance, figs, sweet chestnuts and picture-book villages. Think the “Secret Garden”, only bigger!
The food here is wonderful. Try regional specialities like “Speck” (a type of cured ham), or how does light-as-air spinach dumplings with a creamy walnut sauce sound? Then there is the wine: high altitude, warm days and cold nights make for white wines with intense, fragrant aromas, bursting with flavour. The region also produces some exciting reds - rich, ruby, full of body and delicious.
