Runs and Lifts

The mountain community of Vöran/Verano, situated on the Tschögglberg Mountain Plateau, is one of the sunniest areas in all of South Tyrol. Here, the sun rises earlier and sets later than down in the valleys. Vöran is a real hiking paradise today.
You can reach Vöran from the village of Burgstall/Postal, between Meran and Bolzan, in just five minutes by the NEW cable car. Bus stop near the valley station in Burgstall (bus line "Bozen-Meran" or "Citybus Lana").

The wonderful position of Meltina makes it an ideal place to enjoy nature and landscape of the Alps of Sarntal and to take walks and hikes of different levels of difficulty.

Next to the valley station of the cable car you will find a public parking area.
