Hotel Rosengarten Schenna Resort  

Perched above Merano in quiet Schenna, this mountain-side retreat sits minutes from Merano 2000 ski lifts, Rametz Castle and the Merano Thermal Baths. Buses to Merano train station stop close by, and the slopes are within easy reach with a complimentary ski shuttle.

Rooms and suites feel bright and modern, many with private balconies or panoramic terraces overlooking the Merano valley. Suites include living areas and some bathrooms even feature a steam bath; rooms come air-conditioned with flat-screen TVs and select units have heated floors. Expect a mix of local touches, vineyard views and roomy suites designed for downtime and après-ski comfort.

A full wellness center anchors the property — indoor and outdoor pools, several saunas, a fitness room and bookable massages and beauty treatments. Free bikes and panoramic terraces invite fresh-air exploration. Ski storage, on-site parking and discounts at a local ski school make winters easy. Wake up to valley views and step straight into mountain air.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Two meeting rooms, luggage storage and laundry services support small events and business stays.

On-site restaurants and a hotel bar serve local and international plates, with vegan options on offer and a wide selection of wines — including bottles from the hotel's own vineyard. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served each morning, and limited room service is available for late arrivals or lazy mornings.
