Ther Meran and surroundings panoramas allow you to have a look at the wonders of the South Tyrolean spa town par excellence, where Northern Europe meets Southern Europe; infact here it's possible to see the palms in the Gardens of Trauttmannsdorff Castle and the 3000 metres high snowy peaks on the background at the same time. Meran is encircled with various mountain massifs that protect it from the Northern cold winds; for this reason its climate is so mild! Another attraction of the Meran surroundings is the Tessa Group Natural Park (Naturpark Texelgruppe), that boasts a very wide variety of climates and plants. The Meran and surroundings panoramic photos also allow you to know the other mountain resorts around Meran in advance, such as: Avelengo (Hafling), Scena (Schenna), Tirolo (Dorf Tirol) and Marlengo (Marling).
