A summer holiday in Meransen

As varied as the changing seasons

Here in the mountains, spring lasts longer. From mid-May, it’s a triumph of birdsong, flower-studded Alpine meadows and sylvan scents that will attract you outside to celebrate nature and renewed life. Walk on a bright pink carpet of blossoming Alpine roses. From July to August, this is the perfect destination for relief from the summer heat and the daily grind, with its fresh forest breeze and cool, balmy nights. As for autumn… there’s a reason we call it the golden season. The mountain tops stand bright against clear, sunny skies, and the forests and meadows all around us don their brightest outfits. This wonderful backdrop and the mild temperatures offer the perfect conditions to enjoy outdoor life right up to the beginning of November.

Alpaca walks

New paths towards tranquillity

Meet nimble Fritz, cheeky Pippo, shy Medicus... The lovely alpaca gang from the Hinterwalderhof farm make wonderful companions for a walk out in nature that will help you reset your rhythms to a slower pace. An experience that strengthens your bond with nature and other creatures, while also teaching you light-heartedly how to live in a manner that prevents anything from ruffling your feathers. Such a wonderful way to enrich your summer holiday in Meransen!

Alpine forest bathing

Green resilience

A short, mindful walk in the forest is all it takes to revitalise the body and mind, reduce stress, improve sleep and strengthen the immune system. The greenery and the air filled with the scents of moss, earth and resin have a calming effect. And bathing in the silence of nature, it is easy to clear the mind and liberate the heart. You are invited to join us and bask in the beauty of our natural surroundings, soaking up the simple but extraordinary benefits of forest bathing. A selection of sensory exercises will help you recharge and strengthen your inner balance.

Sunset in the garden

Boules with a view

A balmy summer night, with the sunset bathing the meadows in gold and a Spritz aperitif bubbling cheerfully in the glass. And to round off the great sunset vibe at Biohotel Gitschberg, some good fun in great company. A game of boules in the garden is a big favourite among our guests. The perfect mix of competition and relaxation to add a dash of good-spirited conviviality to your evenings.
