Activities in Alto Adige

Terme Merano
For centuries Terme Merano has been Merano’s main draw. The spa was recently renovated and now revolves around a futuristic glass cube. There’s a staggering 13 indoor and 12 outdoor pools (including a seawater pool with underwater music), though only a couple of them use the town’s actual thermal waters. The range of treatments on offer is equally lengthy, with everything from a South Tyrolean sheep’s-wool bath (€29, 20 minutes) to multiday detox packages. The spa complex is also home to a restaurant and a four-star hotel. Though it has a staff of 100, treatment bookings need to be made at least one month in advance.

Skiing on the mountain is limited and is best suited to beginners. Bus 1B links Merano train station with the Val di Nova cable car.
