The region around Scena/Schenna and Merano/Meran is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Gentle alpine meadows, dense forests and imposing peaks provide a fantastic backdrop for unforgettable tours. Whether leisurely walks or challenging mountain tours - there is something for everyone here.

Scena/Schenna as a starting point - the ideal starting point

Scena/Schenna, situated high above Merano/Meran, is the perfect starting point for numerous hikes. Thanks to the sunny location and the impressive view of the Adige Valley, the adventure begins from the very first step. From here, well-signposted hiking trails lead to rustic alpine huts, hidden mountain lakes and breathtaking viewpoints.

The hike to the Ifinger hut

One of the most popular tours is the hike to the Ifingerhütte at 1,800 meters above sea level. The trail leads through dense forests, across green alpine meadows and offers impressive panoramic views of the Texel Group time and again. Once at the top, a cozy hut awaits hikers with typical South Tyrolean specialties - from bacon dumplings to homemade apple strudel

Aiming high - the summit of the Hirzer

For experienced hikers, there is a more challenging tour to the Hirzer (2,781 m). The Hirzer cable car takes you comfortably to the Klammeben mountain station, from where the ascent begins. The trail leads over rocky paths, past steep slopes and offers spectacular views of the Dolomites and the Ortler group. Once at the top, a breathtaking panorama rewards the ascent.

Relaxation after the hike

After an eventful day of hiking, the thermal baths of Merano or the traditional inns in Scena invite you to relax. A glass of South Tyrolean wine or a hearty “Marende” with bacon and cheese round off the hiking adventure perfectly.
