cosy winter holidays at the Design Hotel Tyrol near Merano
In our normally so simple Design Hotel near Merano everything becomes even less ostentatious at Christmas and New Year. We put up decorations, hang the ornaments on the Christmas tree, wind garlands around our furniture and everywhere there are traditional home-made Christmas biscuits.
But the hotel is not the only place with a comfortable atmosphere, the Christmas market in Merano is just a stone's throw away and our local mountain, Monte San Vigilio offers nostalgic snowy scenery for snow and snow-shoe hiking. You can ski in a couple of small, but lively skiing areas, such as Meran 2000 or in Val Senales, not far from our design hotel near Merano. And if you are not on the move in the snow-covered mountains with or without snow shoes or on a toboggan, you are welcome to take a break in the cosy warmth of our wellness area.
