Vacation in Algund near Merano

The world looks completely different from above than it does from below. It’s not every day you get to see it from so many angles in such a short time. That’s what makes exploring a place like this so special – a village that stretches from a valley of apple orchards and vineyards all the way up to icy peaks at 3,000 metres.

The small village of Algund embodies everything that makes South Tyrol so unique: dramatic contrasts, changing altitudes and a variety of climate zones. The outdoor activities here are just as diverse – from the Mediterranean atmosphere along the River Adige, surrounded by palm and olive trees, to the rugged beauty of the high mountains.

That’s what makes Algund such a special place – and the perfect base for hiking, biking and your next outdoor adventure.

Algund is a peaceful green retreat right next to Merano. A holiday here is all about nature and relaxation. There’s a reason we’re also called the “garden village” – a name we owe to our beautifully kept green spaces and the colourful flower meadows and beds that bloom across the entire village.

Thanks to the dramatic differences in elevation, a wide range of climate zones can be found here in a very small area. Nature and vegetation in Algund stretch from 300 up to nearly 3,000 metres. And because of our location, we benefit from a unique microclimate – one that allows Mediterranean plants to thrive in the heart of the Alps.
