SKI SLOPES, SPA POOLS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
Avid skiers and tobogganing fiends won’t be disappointed in Meran… but neither will those who like to spend their winter holidays at a slower pace! With its idyllic position, Füchslhof is a great starting point to enjoy all the area has to offer, from powdery slopes to not-at-all dusty museums!

Meran 2000
If you’re wondering what a winter holiday at Füchslhof could typically look like, here is an example. After a lavish breakfast, it’s off to the slopes. Whether you prefer Alpine skiing, tobogganing or cross-country skiing, the nearby slopes of the Meran 2000, Vigiljoch and Schwemmalm ski areas offer all a snow fan could wish for. And if that is not enough, the Pfelders ski area and the Schnalstal glacier are not that far, either.
Hiking in winter
For those who prefer to experience the snowy landscape away from the bustling pistes, snowshoeing and winter trekking in the Vigiljoch hiking area are both very rewarding alternatives.
Alpine huts
After a fortifying lunch in one of the many Alpine huts in the area, it’s time to head back to Marling for a change of clothes before visiting the famous Castle Juval or the Messner Mountain Museum in Firmian. Both attractions are only a 30-minute drive from our holiday apartments.
Museums
If you’d rather stay in the immediate vicinity, the Palais Mamming Museum in Meran houses an interesting collection within its recently restored baroque walls, and also includes a selection of exotic artefacts as well as offering an overview of the town’s historical past. Who would expect to come across an Egyptian mummy while on holiday in Meran?
Relax
A couple of hours in the saunas and pools of Therme Meran is just what it takes to end the afternoon in style, before hitting the Christmas market for a steaming cup of mulled wine…Winter at the
Füchslhof
Nature may be fast asleep, but for us winter means the beginning of a new busy season. It’s time to prune the apple trees to ensure regular yields of quality fruits, and the vineyard requires some work, too.
We prune every single plant by hand – that’s the cornerstone of the new agricultural year. The most enjoyable work is obviously done in the cellar, where we taste the young wines.
