Naturns

The thermal village near Merano

WELCOME TO NATURNS!

Hiking, cycling and mountain biking on three levels, on the green Nörderberg and the barren Sonnenberg at the entrance to the Texelgruppe Nature Park: with 315 days of sunshine a year, the landscape of Naturns is one of the least rainy in the entire Alpine region and therefore offers the perfect backdrop for a family holiday full of adventure and relaxation. Our varied children's programme guarantees unforgettable moments for our younger guests. Children's playgrounds with exciting attractions, an adventure park, a fun park and an adventure train station make children's hearts beat faster, while adults can indulge themselves on a feel-good holiday.
Naturns and its surroundings extend from the picturesque village of Plaus to the enchanting districts of Tabland, Tschirland and Staben. With a population of 6,000, Naturns is one of the largest municipalities in the valley and is located just 13 kilometres west of the spa town of Merano. A mild climate gives Naturns a unique atmosphere in which even palm trees and cypresses thrive. The thermal water has also recently been rediscovered and can now be experienced in selected hotels as well as in the adventure pool. This natural healing water pampers body and mind, offers a relaxing experience and adds an extra dimension of well-being to your stay.
