Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in the vacation region Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000? You have only booked a short vacation? No problem, you can do this within a three- or four-day trip!

Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000 in the Merano region in South Tyrol is a paradise for nature lovers, culture buffs and adventurers alike. So, buckle up, we'll take you on a trip you won't soon forget!

Visit to the St. Kathrein Church
We start our journey of discovery with a cultural highlight. The St. Kathrein church in Hafling is not only a Romanesque gem, but also an optical jewel, embedded in a cinematic ambience on a lush green pasture. Indeed, what makes this church so special is its location - high above Merano with a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding mountains. The interior is just as impressive as the harmoniously designed exterior, with well-preserved frescoes and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to linger. St. Kathrein Church is not only a place of spirituality, but also a place where you can feel the history and beauty of the region.


Summit hike in Meran 2000 and to the new panorama platform Vista
If you love nature and like to be active, the skiing and hiking area Merano 2000 is the perfect place for you. The crisp mountain air and a fantastic view make everyday life seem a distant memory. This is not an empty phrase, but a promise! An absolute must is a hike to one of the summits and on the way back a detour to the new panoramic platform Vista. Summit strikers will find all variations here, from easy mountain hikes to a via ferrata, depending on their fitness and ambitions. And the best part? You can manage part of the ascent with the Meran 2000 cable cars. The view from the panoramic platform Vista is simply breathtaking as your gaze sweeps across the South Tyrolean mountain landscape, even to the Dolomites. Don't forget to bring your camera, because photo opportunities await here!

The Haflinger horses and the Haflinger Adventure Trail
Have you ever heard of the Haflinger horses? After all, every fourth pony in Germany is a Haflinger! These adorable horses with blond mane are named – guess what – after the village of Hafling! On the Haflinger Adventure Trail you can not only learn a lot about this breed, but also take the opportunity to experience these gentle and friendly animals up close. Petting is expressly allowed! For those who want to know even more, there are special events such as taster rides and guided riding stable tours. It is a great opportunity to experience and understand the close relationship between man and animal. The Haflinger horses are not only proud ambassadors of the region, but also a wonderful way to experience the closeness of the locals to nature.

The Knottnkino in Vöran
Our last highlight brings both art and contemplation to your adventure. The Knottnkino in Vöran is a special open-air cinema in the middle of nature. However, you will wait there in vain for a James Bond to flit across the screen, because instead of a screen, an unobstructed view of the magnificent nature awaits you. On one of the 30 steel and wooden cinema seats you can switch off and immerse yourself in the film that Mother Nature has in store for you. And it's true: it changes daily, even hourly!
Tip: A sunset at the Knottnkino (Attention: don't forget your headlamp for the way back).

So, there is a lot to discover and experience in the vacation region Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000. Whether you are interested in culture, nature, animals or art, here you will find everything your heart desires. And the best part is that you can travel at your own pace.

100 years of the Meran-Hafling cable car

100 years of the Meran-Hafling cable car
Exactly 100 years ago - in October 1923 - the Meran/Obermais - Hafling/St. Kathrein cable car was put into operation. In its 61 years of operation, it has achieved more than it seems at first glance. Although there is little to remind us of the installation today, the construction of this cable car was a pioneering technical achievement. Three quarters of all cable cars in the world today still use this principle, which was first applied here by engineer Luis Zuegg. For the village of Hafling, the new, fast connection to the valley brought an economic upswing and the initial spark for tourism.

The last thatched roofs of Vöran
They are a cultural asset, a popular photo motif and now an uncommon rarity: the thatched roofs of the farmsteads on the Tschögglberg. For centuries they have characterised the landscape in and around Vöran. This piece of rural architecture needs to be preservated but it is a challenge.
