Northern Half of the Meraner Höhenweg with Hotel Before and After

This stage starts in Pfelders (1,600 m), following trail No. 24 through Innerhütt and Außerhütt, crossing the Pfeldererbach River before reaching Krössbichl, where the northern and southern routes meet. It’s a good spot to rest and take in the view.

The trail then reenters the Texelgruppe Nature Park, passing through Ulfas and into the Kammerwald forest. The path alternates between forest trails and paved sections, making for an easy walk. You’ll pass the Christl farmstead, a good place for a break before the trail opens into flat terrain. The stage ends at Matatz, at 1,052 m. From Matatz, you will make a final descent to St. Martin in Passeier, where your trek will come to an end. To return to Merano, you can take the bus line 240 from St. Martin in Passeier. This bus runs regularly between the two locations and offers a direct route.

This is where your Meraner Höhenweg comes to an end. From Merano, you have several options to continue your journey, whether you choose to explore more of Italy or head back home. Take one last moment to enjoy Merano’s landscapes and relaxing atmosphere before you leave for your next adventure.
