One of the best ways to truly get to know a place is on a leisurely walk. In Lana and its surroundings, you can experience the region’s remarkable diversity: palm trees and magnolias against a backdrop of impressive mountain peaks, apple orchards and vineyards in the valley, and chestnut groves and forests at higher elevations.

The promenades and themed trails around Lana near Merano invite you to discover this special landscape at your own pace. In Lana itself, the Länd Promenade follows the Falschauer River, while the Sculpture Trail combines art and nature. The Aichberg Nature and Culture Trail, the romantic Gaul Gorge, the Falschauer Biotope and the historic irrigation-channel trails offer even more opportunities for varied and relaxing walks.

In Völlan, the Chestnut Experience Trail leads through the village’s characteristic chestnut groves, while other paths take you to special places such as St Hippolyt on Naraun and St Jakob in Grissian. In Gargazon, the Kröll Tower circular walk leads to a historic landmark, while the fitness trail in Burgstall combines exercise with time spent in nature.

Thanks to the mild climate, many of the walking and themed trails in the valley can be enjoyed all year round, allowing you to discover Lana and its surroundings step by step.
