Partschins & surroundings

Mountains today. Merano tomorrow.

Your hiking boots are ready, the bike is waiting – and sometimes all it takes is the urge for a cappuccino in town. Around the Sonnenberg, you can make every holiday day different.

Hiking high above the valley, cycling between orchards or strolling through Merano's lanes: from our campsite in Partschins, you can discover the variety of South Tyrol. And in the evening, you return to your pitch with a view.
