Skiing region Merano 2000

The mountain community of Vöran/Verano, situated on the Tschögglberg Mountain Plateau, is one of the sunniest areas in all of South Tyrol. Here, the sun rises earlier and sets later than down in the valleys. Vöran is a real hiking paradise today.

This little cable car, with 12 seats, takes just a few minutes from Vilpian, the country 's most northerly wine route (260 meters), to Schlaneid near Mölten (1,026 m), located on the back of the Tschögglberg mountain between Meran and Bozen. The wonderful position of Mölten makes it an ideal place to enjoy nature and landscape of the Alps of Sarntal and to take walks and hikes of different levels of difficulty.

Next to the valley station of the cable car you will find a public parking area.
The buses of the line 201 (Bozen/Meran or Meran/Bozen) and 202 (Citybus Terlan-Andrian-Nals-Vilpian) stops in front of the valley station of the cable car.
From the train station in Vilpian (railway Bozen-Meran or Meran-Bozen) you have to make a walk of ten minutes.

This chairlift runs directly to the Rifugio Kesselberg inn at 2,300 m above sea level – the ideal place for a quick stop to sit back and decide which one of the two ample slopes to explore first.

Attention: this chairlift is not accessible to pedestrians.

This two-seater chairlift runs up to the Mittager peak at 2,260 m above sea level in both winter and summer. At the top, expect jaw-dropping panoramic views of the South Tyrolean mountains: The vistas of the famous Dolomite peaks in the distance are simply breath-taking.

The Mittager chairlift is open to pedestrians year-round.

The three-seater Piffing chairlift connects the ropeway mountain station – the gateway to the slopes – with the far end of the skiing resort. It is open to pedestrians but only operates in winter.

With its four-seater chairs and protective bubbles that shield the passengers from the wind and cold, the S. Osvaldo lift guarantees a swift and cosy ride on your way to the top. This chairlift only operates in winter.

Attention: this chairlift is not accessible to pedestrians.

The first Wallpach chairlift was inaugurated in 1981. Having faithfully carried countless skiers to the mountain station at Pivigna over the course of many years, in the summer of 2018 it retired – and in December that same year, a state-of-the-art new system opened: a detachable six-seater chairlift with a total length of some 900 m and a transport capacity of 2,200 passengers per hour.

Please note that this chairlift is not accessible to pedestrians.

From the Falzeben car park above the village of Avelengo, the Falzeben gondola lift runs all the way to the mountain station of the Merano 2000 ropeway at Pivigna.

On a quick and convenient ride to the peak, the gondola lift offers wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes of craggy peaks and deep valleys.

The Outdoor Kids Camp offers a safe space for kids to get started on their skis or snowboard – with the help of our many skiing instructors and a series of magic carpets at the ski kindergarten.

It's a mere seven-minute ride on South Tyrol's largest ropeway to what the locals lovingly call the sun deck of Merano – that's award-winning architecture and sustainable mobility fused into one of the most cutting-edge ropeway systems in the Alps.

With services running every 15 minutes, each cabin can carry up to 120 passengers (plus one cabin attendant) from the city right to the doorstep of the skiing and hiking resort of Merano 2000 – at an altitude of 2,000 m above sea-level.

Departure: every 15minutes.
