Spring getaway in the Lana Region of South Tyrol

Lana connects. Mountain views with floral fragrances.

Lana connects: the vibrant awakening of spring with the irresistible call of a holiday, blending Alpine majesty with Mediterranean allure. The region in northern Italy is where snow-capped peaks greet blooming orchards in the vibrant embrace of spring.

Just a short drive from the iconic spa town of Meran/Merano, Lana invites you to embrace the warmth of the sun, revel in stunning panoramas, explore serene hiking trails, and lose yourself in the wonders of nature.

Starting in March, the mild weather invites you to enjoy aperitifs beneath palm trees, strolls amidst olive groves, or relaxing trips to cozy mountain huts. The season’s fresh vegetables and aromatic wild herbs grace every menu, while the historic Waalwege irrigation channel trails beckon for a leisurely post-meal wander.
