Merano - City of Flowers
You might ask yourself how it is possible that a well-known alpine ski resort could be called “City of Flowers.” The secret is that although Merano is completely surrounded by snowy peaks that can reach altitudes of 10,000 feet, the city itself sits in a lush valley only 1,000 feet high – and so we might go as far as to call it “The Italian Shangri-La.” Less than an hour’s easy drive from excellent downhill slopes, cross-country trails and well-marked hiking paths, the city has a sheltered climate that keeps it mild in winter and cool in summer.
