Skiing, Tobogganing and Winter Hiking with the Whole Family

Lana and its surroundings near Meran/Merano offer families a variety of ways to enjoy winter together. Whether you prefer skiing, tobogganing or winter hiking, the surrounding mountains offer activities for different ages and interests. Car-free Mount Vigiljoch is particularly inviting for families looking to spend relaxing time in the winter landscape. Other winter sports areas are also easily accessible from Lana.

Winter Activities for Families on Mount Vigiljoch
Mount Vigiljoch, Lana's local mountain, is just a few minutes away by cable car. With no car traffic, you can enjoy winter here at a leisurely pace. Trails through snow-covered forests and across alpine meadows invite you to take winter walks and hikes. Snowshoeing is another way to explore the winter landscape. Along the way, mountain huts and traditional inns offer welcoming places to stop for a break.

Skiing also has a long tradition on Mount Vigiljoch. The historic race piste recalls the early days of winter sports on Lana's local mountain. Whether it can be used for skiing depends on snow conditions and whether the piste is operating.

Skiing and Tobogganing in the Surrounding Winter Sports Areas
If you are looking for more opportunities to ski and go tobogganing, you will find them in the nearby winter sports areas of Meran 2000 and Schwemmalm in the Ultental/Val d'Ultimo valley. Both offer slopes of varying difficulty and facilities for families with children.

South Tyrolean specialties and warm South Tyrolean hospitality await guests in the numerous ski huts of the ski areas in Lana and the surrounding area. If the outside temperatures do not allow you to sit outside on deck chairs along the sun terraces, the entire family can also find a place in a cozy wooden parlor, where a traditional tiled stove warms guests and little skiers.

Merano 2000 and Schwemmalm
Merano 2000 is located near the spa town of Merano/Meran, just a few minutes away by cable car, bus or car. Luckis Kinderland, the outdoor play park with its magic carpet and practice area, awaits younger visitors right at the mountain station. This is also true of the Schwemmy Kinderland in the Schwemmalm ski area in Ultental Valley. Both ski areas offer professional ski kindergartens and ski schools for children. While parents enjoy the local lifestyle and cuisine on the sun terraces of the ski huts, in both the Kinderlands children can playfully learn how to handle snow and skis.
