Lagundo - In the spirit of relaxation and pleasure

The small town of Lagundo, near Merano, ranges from 320 to 1360 metres in altitude. Lagundo is all about pleasure and joie de vivre. The bustling community is a fusion of remarkable contrasts: it has a quiet, rural atmosphere on the one hand, yet is painted with Merano's urban chic at the same time. This is purely the result of proximity: Lagundo is just minutes away from the spa town, yet is nestled cosily into orchards and vineyards.

The parts of town that lie at higher elevations reach all the way up to the mountains at 1,600 metres: Velloi (Vellau), for example, offers a panoramic view over the entire Val d’Adige (Etschtal) Valley.

Above the village, you’ll find the Algunder Waalweg path alongside the old irrigation chanels, which runs relatively flat from Plars di Sopra (Oberplars) to Grazze (Gratsch)—about 6 kilometres. The Algunder Waalweg is one of the most archetypal hiking trails in the area, and also offers splendid panoramic views over the Val d’Adige, Ivigna (Ifinger) Mountain, Punta Cervina (Hirzer) Peak, and Tyrol Castle.
