The alpine scenery at Merano 2000 features picturesque alpine pastures, whose natural cultivation is not only a tradition, but also active landscape conservation.

With long running and hiking routes in summer and varied ski slopes in winter, Merano 2000 boasts the perfect conditions for effective outdoor training and a wide range of experiences in nature.

Anyone who loves the mountains and nature should experience a sunrise hike once in his life. The magical light of the early morning bestows truly memorable moments.

Omar Visintin talks about his beginnings and his passion. Since he was a child, his greatest passion has always been the snow and all the things it allows him to do onhis board.

Climbing striking rocky outcrops and challenging terrain, then proudly stand at the summit cross - climbing gives you the feeling of having conquered the mountain.

With snowshoes on your feet, a feeling of effortlessness in your rucksack and your mobile phone switched to flight mode. Conquer the mountains - this short break will be wonderful.

You can see all the glowing red cheeks whizzing over the ski slopes, the laughing eyes and tight calves, but you, yourself, can sadly only watch on. But you are never too old to learn or start all over again.
