Walking
Start your excursions into nature directly from your apartment. Above our house there are two beautiful paths, the “Alpenrosenweg” and the “Naturlehrpfad”, which connect other hiking and walking paths. Flat paths wind their way through Lana’s orchards, also ideal for buggies. Or how about a bike tour along the Wine Route?
​
​Especially popular with families are the two irrigation channels “Brandiswaalweg” in Lana or the “Marlinger Waalweg”. The latter leads almost evenly along an irrigation channel and offers fantastic views.
Hiking
From leisurely hikes in the valley to challenging mountain tours to one of the many three thousand metre peaks. The surroundings of Lana offer endless hiking possibilities.
​
The Vigiljoch is reachable on foot or comfortably by cable car, which starts only five minutes by car from our aparthotel. At the top you will find a true natural idyll among larch forests, alpine meadows and healing springs.
​
Further beautiful hikes run in the hiking area Meran 2000 and in the Texel Group Nature Park, like the high-altitude trail “Meraner Höhenweg”.
