Carefree holidays
In Algund, there are holiday moments open to everyone. Here you can experience nature together. Accessible, relaxed, and full of discoveries. Many of our walking paths, activities, and offers are designed to be easily accessible with strollers, wheelchairs, or walkers. Among vineyards, orchards, and wide views of the mountains, you’ll find places where everyday life fades away, and you can simply enjoy without worries. Here we’ll show you the highlights that await you during a barrier-free stay in Algund.
Algund Waalweg canal trail
With its gentle access in Oberplars and its consistently level route, the Algund Waalweg canal trail is great for families with children, strollers, and also easily walkable for older visitors. However, as there can be occasional uneven sections along the way, we do not consider it to be fully barrier-free. Please check with the Algund Tourist Office beforehand to get a more accurate assessment for your trip.
Tappeinerweg trail in Merano
The Algund Waalweg leads directly into the Tappeinerweg trail in Merano. This level path runs above the city and offers fantastic panoramic views. The Tappeiner Promenade is officially classified by the city of Merano as fully accessible and is therefore easy to enjoy with wheelchairs and walkers.

Located in the heart of the village, on Algund’s church square, it impresses with its beauty. The mosaic windows inside are particularly remarkable. The church is fully accessible for all visitors.

For us, accessibility means much more than ramps or wide paths. It means true participation and the feeling of being welcome.

That’s why we make sure that many of our hotels and accommodations are fully accessible and greet you with open doors.
