“A great place tp walk off all that amazing pizza! nice walk and excellent views. you can really see the mountains and
thw country side! really pretty”
We thought one of these reviews should be in English. We are local American residents and we have been coming
here for 15 years. The trail is fantastic as are the lifts.
“We suggest the following itinerary: Drive to the village of Velloi, which is above Lagundo. From these, take the 2
person bucket lift to the Leiteralm. This is a great place to have a coffee and prepare yourself for the trail. From the
Leiteralm, traverse the Meraner Höhenweg to the Steinegg. This walk is about an hour. Have lunch at the Steinegg
and hike back to the Leiteralm and take the return lift to Velloi. This will give you a full day of views, fresh air and
good food.
Tip: We have taken many friends on this hiking trail and always advise them to wear good footware and not drink a
lot of beer at either alm. The trail is very well maintained, but the drop-offs are steep; not a place to goof around. A
clear day after high winds will provide the best views. Also, beware of afternoon thunder storms from June through
August. A light jacket is a good idea.
In our opinion, this is the absolute best local attraction in the Meran area. There is no fee for the trail, but lift tickets
need to be purchased. The altitude is over 1,500 meters and we have seen people from 8 years old to 85 years old
on the trail. Enjoy!”

“Good place to people-watch. Lots of outdoor cafe. When you are done watching/eating/drinking, go to the Duomo,
which is right next to it.”
