Meran 2000 Tour

The route starts at the Piffinger Köpfl mountain peak in Meran 2000 and runs to the Kirchsteiger Alm and Meraner Hütte Mountain Huts to Waidmann Alm Mountain Hut.

The starting point of the tour around the recreation area of Meran 2000 is the Piffinger Köpfl Mountain Hut at the summit station of the cable car (1,900 m). Piffing is also accessible from Falzeben along a connecting path running about 3 kilometres. The tour runs from the starting point along the paths n. 18,17 and 14 to the Kirchsteiger Alm (1,945 m) and Meraner Hütte (1,960 m) Mountain Huts. The path n. 18A goes to the Waidmann Alm Mountain Hut (1,989 m) and then back to the starting point.

Coming from both directions of the freeway Meran/Merano - Bolzano/Bozen (MEBO), take the exit of Meran Süd/Merano Sud and follow directions towards Meran first, to then turn right towards Hafling/Avelengo.

Two possibilities to reach the summit station:

• parking place in Naiftal/Val di Nova in Meran, ascent with the Merano 2000 funicular
• parking place in Falzeben in Hafling/Avelengo, ascent with the Falzeben cable car

Attention: Trail no. 3 (Piffinger Köpfl/mountain station to Waidmannalm hut) is probably closed all summer & autumn 2022 long due to excavation work. The diversion is via the lower trail, no. 18/A. All huts can be reached via this path.
