Avelengo - the sun terrace of Merano. This high-quality building project is located in the sunny village centre and about 10 minutes' drive from the Merano 2000 ski resort. The bus station, leading to the skiing and hiking area or to the spa town of Merano, is in the immediate vicinity. There is also a bank, shops and bistros. Merano 2000 is the most popular recreation area for the region's inhabitants and guests! The entire area, above the spa town of Merano, with its distant views of the Ortler mountains and the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a year-round combination of hiking trails, peaks, ski slopes, toboggan runs and excellent mountain huts. In winter, the ski area attracts visitors with its 40 kilometres of snow-guaranteed pistes in varying degrees of difficulty, 3 km of natural toboggan runs, 3 km of cross-country skiing trails and its snow park. The ski area, between 1670 and 2300 metres above sea level, makes every skier's heart beat faster. Whether it is gliding down the slopes on a toboggan, breathing in the crystal-clear air during a ski tour, enjoying the speed of the descents or experiencing winter sports for the first time with the children in the large Kids Camp playground with ski kindergarten, petting zoo, roller coaster and magic carpet, Merano 2000 means fun for the whole family! But also in summer, numerous hiking trails and breathtaking panoramas attract hiking enthusiasts to magical places. Summit destinations and via ferrata routes inspire adventure and thrill-seekers. Cycling enthusiasts are welcome here, as are sun worshippers looking for their own personal highlight.
