Paradisiacal conditions in Saltaus
Beneath the nature reserve Texel Group, the hiking area Hirzer, only few kilometers from the spa town Meran lies the South Tyrolean village Saltaus in the valley of Passeiertal.
The modern cable car Hirzer makes Saltaus in the environs of Meran the ideal starting point for most walks leading up to the alpine heights.
Walk on the „Waalweg“ – the path along the ancient irrigation channel - to Schenna or Meran, across the paradisiacal landscape to Riffian and Dorf Tirol or along the „Waalweg“ of Mais; go through orchards, forests and meadows to Meran or simply enjoy the refreshing breeze of river Passer on the dam-walk to St. Martin or St. Leonhard in Passeier. The High Route of Meran above Saltaus leads through the nature park Texel Group and provides magical views and emotions to remember.
Off to Heubadl!
Saltaus and its surroundings provide lots of recreational fun possibilities: Relaxing in the public „Heubadl“ (=hay bath) in Saltaus, climbing, rafting, canyoning or pedaling along the cycle path of Passeier. A feeling second only to flying! If Saltaus can offer this as well? Yes, indeed it can. Here you can experience paragliding high above the Hirzer!
Friends of history will delight in the face of the wonderful historic farms „Schildhöfe“, „Hof Steinhaus“ and „Hof Saltaus“. Experience the heartfelt South Tyrolean hospitality for yourself in the hotels in Salten, get up-close to traditions and customs and – very importantly - the savoury palate-teasers, refined with alpine flavour and Southern sophistication.
