Meraner Höhenweg hiking guide

<p>Merano, the pearl of South Tyrol, is dominated in the north by a magnificent mountain range - the Texel Group - whose peaks tower up to 3000 meters above the city. A huge difference in altitude! The Merano High Mountain Trail runs along the flanks of this mountain range. It has become one of the most popular multi-day circular hikes in the Alps - and rightly so!</p><p>The Rother hiking guide "Meraner Höhenweg" is the perfect basis for planning the classic, five to six-day route - with all the important information, variants and summit detours.

Again and again you come to picturesque mountain farms and alpine pastures, some of which are also used as accommodation. The stages on the north side lead through the high mountain valleys below the main ridge of the Ötztal Alps: the Pfossental and Pfelderer Tal valleys. In between, the Eisjöchl, which is almost 2,900 meters high, forms the highest point of the Merano High Mountain Trail. Right next to it, the Stettiner Hütte offers accommodation in thin air.</p><p>&nbsp;Several variants lead past the Spronser Seen lakes, which are among the most charming natural beauties in South Tyrol.
