Yes, the mountain is calling! The mountain is calling and I must go! Know that as a holidayer in the paloria you will hear many a mountain call. And you must obey! You must! Otherwise you will miss something. From the Texelgruppe over the Sarntal Alps to the Tschögglberg, the Ultner mountains ... and, and, and. After all, we are in South Tyrol: there are mountains galore here! There are, so to speak, an infinite number of them. A whole four-thousand-metre peak, several three-thousand-metre peaks, countless two-thousand-metre peaks ... which one do you want to hike, climb, experience? That's up to you! Discover a new one for every day of your vacation. Or for every experience: hiking, speedhiking, mountaineering.
Once a week we also take you on a guided hiking tour, if you like. Feel the mountain! Be happy!
speedhiking
Let's go!
Speedhiking in Meraner Land.
With plenty of fire under our feet, we're heading ever upward: toward the summit! Performance summit, emotional summit, mountain summit! We leave no footprints, but dust clouds! It go up - when speedhiking in the Meraner Land!
If challenging routes in steep terrain belong to your special skillset and you prefer to go too fast rather than too slow, then you'll be happy as a guest in the paloria! Algund even has its own speedhiking trail: 1,100 vertical metres on 6 kilometres! And in Merano 2000 an 8-kilometre trail with over 1,270 metres of altitude awaits you! There are also the Giggelberg and Aschbach speedhiking trails. And: there's even more! Walking was yesterday!

We like to feed you with the best hiking route tips! You come as a holidayer and leave as an insider. That's a promise! And it doesn't matter whether you're into short-and-crisp, long-and-comfortable, or the main thing - strenuous. Waal paths for kilometre hunters, high-altitude paths for altitude junkies, summits for those who enjoy the view. Hiking? Around the paloria always and at any time: 160 km of hiking trails are just waiting to be explored by you!
Around Algund, the Texelgruppe, the Sarntal Alps or the Vigiljoch seduce with wow-worthy hikes that will ignite your lust for joy anew! And that at any time, because you can hike up the mountain with the sun in the morning or down again with it in the evening!
mountaineering
Aim high!
Mountain climbing from Algund.
Want to get to the top? Preferably even higher? That's great! The paloria is the right place for you. Because the summit is our goal! Of emotions? No, of the mountains!
Let's start with the highest of all South Tyrolean peaks: Allow me, King Ortler! As a conqueror of mountain peaks, you can hear his call echoing through the entire Vinschgau Valley. You should follow it! 3.905 metres it wants from you - yes, from YOU! - to be climbed. This is the tour for real daredevils and climbers!
If, on the other hand, you are content with the king's "little" brothers, you would do well to make a trip to the horseshoe-shaped Sarntal Alps. Or to the nature park Texelgruppe - which lies at the feet of the paloria guests! No, actually it's the other way around. We are at its feet! Because just a few steps from the paloria lead you directly into the nature park! To countless mountain tours. If you want, you never have to stop climbing mountains here!
We help you to experience the mountains! And with the very best tour tips - from us personally!
