ESCAPE THE DAILY GRIND, ENTER HAPPINESS
Culture, lifestyle and a touch of dolce vita
Stollhof is just a few minutes by bus from the spa town of Meran, with its sunny promenades, historic arcades and thermal baths. The old town can also be reached on foot via a relaxing walk along the Algunder Waalweg and the Tappeinerweg. The famous Tappeinerweg, a spa path built for empress Sissi, allows you to stroll through the city while high above Meran's rooftops, offering the best views of Meran and the entire Burggrafenamt region. Its floral splendour, with local and mediterranean plants, makes it one of the most enchanting mountain walks in Europe.
The old town of Meran
Meran's medieval arcades are home to stylish boutiques with beautifully decorated shop windows, fine food shops, excellent restaurants, numerous bars and cafes. For a triumphant finale, we recommend an aperitif on the sunny promenades.
Floral splendour at Trauttmansdorff Castle
The castle's botanical gardens are home to plants from all over the world. From native trees and flowers to exotic plants, it is a botanical marvel. The sea of flowers attracts not only plant lovers, but also international musicians whose concerts can be enjoyed on warm summer evenings by the water lily pond.
Relaxation at the Meran Thermal Baths
Even if our private pool is tempting, a stay at Terme Meran is must for our guests. The 15 indoor pools fed with thermal water from Vigiljoch, which are open all year round, and 10 outdoor pools in summer, as well as a wonderfully relaxing sauna world with a beautiful outdoor area, offer an unforgettable oasis of relaxation.
Museums in Meran
Be sure to visit the impressive Meran City Museum in the magnificent Palais Mamming! We also recommend the Museum of Tourism, which is housed in the premises of Trauttmansdorff Castle, where empress Sissi once resided, the Kunsthaus Museum of Contemporary Art and the Women's Museum.
