“Hiking improves the mind” – Hiking Suggestions in South Tyrol

Especially when the Alpine rose is in bloom

From Klammeben via Hirzerhütte mountain hut, it is a flat route to Hintereggalm and Mahdalm mountain pasture. Right behind this we ascend a little to Rotmoos. From this flat pasture, the route leads back to Tallneralm and Klammeben pastures. When the Alpine rose is in bloom – end of June and beginning of July – this route is particularly recommended.

Hike through Scena’s forests

At Pichlerstrasse street take the right fork to Bergerweg road and you will pass Roathhöfen and Fungganell farms on the way to Rastlhof mountain hut. The access road takes you to Salfnerhof and Salfgut farms and ascends a little to Raststeinweg trail. This beautiful, shaded path takes you to Gsteirer Weg trail from where you can hike back to Scena.

Leisurely hiking through orchards and vineyards

At Schennerhof Katnauweg fork, take Mitterplattweg trail to "Stickle Gasse", an old connecting path from Scena to Maia Alta (there is a memorial plaque dedicated to the French soldiers who died here in 1809). At Sonnwendhof farm the forest path forks down to the left, and leads to Planta Castle. At Haslerweg trail you then continue to Oberhaslerhof farm via Mitterplattweg trail, pass the swimming baths and reach Scena again.

Breathtaking panoramic view from Scena’s local mountain

The ascent from the Merano 2000 hiking area leads through Waidmannalm pasture (Route 3), past St. Oswald-Kirchlein church to Oswaldscharte ridge and Kuhleiten (Route.19A). From Ifinger, Scena’s local mountain, you will enjoy an amazing panoramic view.

As the ascent to the mountain peak entails mountain climbing, a certain amount of mountaineering experience is required. Not suitable for those prone to dizziness.

Leisurely hiking in the Hirzer region

You can travel from Saltusio to Klammeben by cable car and after a short descent and ascent, on to Hirzerhütte mountain hut. The route leads downwards over the meadows to Gompm Alm mountain pasture and along an almost flat route to Gasthof Grube inn. From here you can descend to Oberkirn or Prenn.

The cable car takes you to Taser; via the access road you can reach Schnugger. From there you can take a shaded forest path to Zmailerhof hut. Travel over the meadow and then through the forest to reach Rastlhof mountain hut and then back to Scena.

Via Wiesersteig trail, which begins at the Verdinser church, the route leads to Hofweg trail, which passes Köstenthaler and carries on to Pichler. Further along the Waalweg channel trail you will reach a fork, which leads to Ifingerstrasse street via Moareben and to Scena.

Hiking with panoramic views of Merano

The route starts a short distance above San Giorgio, passes by Tommelehof farm and leads to Jägerrast inn. Then with somewhat of an incline, continue on to "Holzner Säge" sawmill, then along a beautiful and flat trail to Holznerhof and onwards to Vallplatzhof hut. On the way, which forks to the left here, you can get to Hofweg trail and via Wiesersteig path to Verdines. From Verdines you can easily reach the hotel by bus.

Enjoy the beautiful views over Merano

Take the bus from Scena to Gasthof Pichler inn. The beautiful forest path leads directly there; and in a southern direction you will reach the romantic "Katzenleiter" and then continue to Brunjaunhof farm. Always with the beautiful views of Merano as a backdrop, the route continues above San Giorgioto the valley station of the Ifinger funicular in Naiftal Valley. From there you can take the bus back to Scena.

Take a walk through Scena’s forests

Above the castle, this route forks to the left and continues through meadows with chestnut trees, below Thurnerhof farm. From here the Waldweg trail snakes downward to Riffianerweg path and from there you can travel back to Dorfplatz square in the Scena center.

The leisurely forest path above Merano

At Schennerhof farm take the fork to Katnauweg and Leiterweg trails, which takes you past Innerleiter to Maiser Waalweg slightly above Ofenbaur. Continue along this path, which is flat all the way, in a northerly direction, and you will pass Schnuggenbach stream to reach Petaunerhof farm and on to Riffanerweg trail, from where you can return to Scena.

Leisurely walks through orchards and vineyards

From the Resmairhof hotel travel in the direction of the town center of Scena. After 100 m, veer to the left and you will reach Mitterplattweg trail, which leads through orchards and vineyards. From the route you will have an amazing panoramic view of Merano and the Texelgruppe Nature Park. From Scena outdoor pool it continues to Hauptstraße street and from there back to the starting point at the Resmairhof hotel.

Leisurely walks through the S. Giorgio district

After the mini golf course, St. Georgenstraße street leads onward to "Rodelstein"; from there the footpath forks to the left with a somewhat steep incline to S. Giorgio. The round church decorated with frescos and its panoramic view is an inviting place to sit and pass the time. With a slight incline, the path continues in the direction of the Waalweg trail, then forks to the left, continues through pastures and passes Krebishof farm and the beautifully located Lothhof farm before leading back to Scena.

Walk in the direction of the town center of Scena, past Dorfplatz village square and out to Schenna Castle. Then veer to the right and continue back to the starting point at the Resmairhof Hotel. Along the way you will have an amazing view of the town center of Scena with its castle, church and mausoleum.
