Cross-country skiing in South Tyrol

Panoramic cross-country ski trails in Merano and Environs

The alpine plateaus around Merano/Meran are also ideal for Nordic sports. All five of the local ski areas in the vicinity offer cross-country skiing at varying levels of difficulty. At the Schnalstal Glacier ski area, international cross-country skiing stars train on the Hochjoch cross-country trail (2,450m a.s.l.), which as the only dedicated cross-country ski trail in the area is open already in autumn.
