The best time to walk the Meraner Höhenweg (No. 24):
The northern section is a summer tour, accessible from the end of June to the beginning of October (depending on snow conditions).
The southern and eastern sections can often be walked all year round and are also suitable for one-day tours.It is marked with the number 24, runs all around the Texel Group Nature Park and is considered one of the most fascinating hiking trails in the Alps:
The Merano High Path is over 80 kilometres long, with numerous ascent and descent possibilities and enchanting views with the South Tyrolean "three-thousanders" in the foreground.
