One a week we organize a ride to Töll with our "Hiking-taxi", from where you can walk along the whole waalweg until you reach the hotel.
Skulpturenwanderweg Lana
The South Tyrol's Sculpture Ramble is a Land art's project by Lana Art. It starts from Lana but some other municipalities will take part in it. The route, which gives the opportunity to live new experiences, is a footpath that has to be followed on foot for the walker to become aware of the human natural speed, as opposed to our frenzy and fluttering everyday life.
Hiking-area Monte San Vigilio
Everyone, trained hikers as well as beginners, is fascinated by Monte San Viglio: our local mount, with its smooth hills and the wide and overwhelming panorama.
Monte San Vigilio, just 15 minutes by foot from the Hotel is really a trip worth and offers you a lot of activities:
Mountainbiking, mountain-hiking, Nordic Walking etc. Famous for its beautiful Larch-forests and water-fonts, it is the ideal starting poig for your hikings!For example you can choose to take a walk to the romantic St. Vigilius church and the biotope or maybe to Seespitz and higher located alps such as the "Naturnser Alm" or maybe try a challenging peak-tour to the "Vedetta Alta" on 2607 m.
And during the winter-months: lots of fun for adults and children on the Monte San Viglio Ski-area! Authentical, nostalgic, far from noise and overcrowded ski-regions.
Hiking-area Merano 2000
The Ski-and hiking area of Merano 2000, eastern of Merano, offers wonderful hiking-paths for everyone.
You can reach the mountain-station at 2010m by car or cable-car. From here you can start comfortable alpine pasture hikings from the "Meraner Hütte" to the "Waidmannalm", alongside Merano's high route and the European "Fernwanderweg". Or try challenging tours to the peak of the mounts "Mittager and Ifinger" or maybe try something really exciting such as the new Alpin-Bob, the first South Tyrolean Toboggan roller coaster open all year round.

Merano's high route:
Merano's high rout is one of the most beautiful hiking-routs of the whole alpine-region.
A unique walk through the Texel Group Nature Park - more than just a one day adventure! This a quite even remaining path is some kind of connection between the High-mountain climate of the Texel-group and the Mediterranean climate of the Isarco valley. It will seem to you as you're standing on a terrace having a look at the surrounding valley. You will recognize the Dolomites, the Brenta-group and the Ortler-massiv.

Nordic Walking & Walking
There's nothing more healthy then outdoor exercise. An impressive panorama, peace and a great number of exciting and challenging round-trips around Lana are waiting for you. The right dose of exercise bring you in a good mood and is namely the best recipe you can prescibe yourself. Nordic Walking is a smooth bull-body-training, easy to learn and suitable for everyone in every season.
