Climbing in Merano and Environs

Alpine vegetation from a vertical perspective
Despite the proximity of the Dolomites at Merano (reachable in only one hour by car), there are many interesting and challenging attractions in the region surrounding the spa resort, particularly rock climbing. Here, there are walls with many different difficulty levels for climbers, from third and fourth grade of difficulty up to more challenging tours such as the sixth grade Cima Bianca Grande in the Parco Naturale della Giogaia di Tessa. Knowledgable local mountain guides are readily available for climbers with advice and suggestions from their many years of experience.

The beautiful Parcines Waterfall
In Parcines, advanced climbers are treated with the experience of being able to climb through the Parcines Waterfall. With 97 metres of thunderous water, first time climbers should be supervised for safety. The power of this waterfall amongst the unspoiled alpine environment is truly a unique experience.

Sports climbing
There are many climbing parks around Merano, such as the boulder area of Lagundo, the climbing gardens in Plan, St.Hypolit and Lana or next to the Fragsburg Waterfall. Climbers can climb all year round, however in poor weather, there is also the indoor “Rockarena“climbing hall in Merano.

Important! In the event of an emergency call 118.
