The Ski Resort
The sun-soaked ski resort of Merano 2000 is an inviting option to swap the city for the mountains, with a swift 7 minute Ropeway journey that will take you right on to the sunny terrace of Merano. Award-winning architecture and sustainable mobility in one of the most modern and innovative uplift systems in the Alps.
Once arrived at the ski resort the breath-taking view takes you as far as the Ortles range and the Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage.
40 km of slopes on a sunny plateau, at a height of 2000 metres are a treat for every adventurous skier or snowboarder. The new slopes, all of various difficulty grades, will suite every skiing style and ability, from experts who are looking for a challenge to families on a day out with their children. At Kinderland the smaller ones will embrace their first skiing experience on the snow kindergarden “magic carpets” and with the help of the many ski instructors… in the meantime parents can relax and enjoy an aperitif on the beautiful terrace of the Panorama Bistro while keeping an eye on their kids’ activities.
Fascinating ski-touring and snow-shoe routes all around Merano 2000 take you through enchanted winter landscapes. A number of paths with a stunning view take you to the furthest ends of the resort, places where you can still touch nature with your hands and eyes. The more romantic ones can go on an excursion on a horse-drawn sleigh from Avelengo and Verano through the snowed-in forests.
