Welcome to Naturns,
a village near Meran
We are delighted to welcome you to Naturns, a charming little market
town which gets 315 days of sun a year and less rainfall than anywhere
else in the eastern Alps, even less than neighbouring villages do!
The exceptionally mild, sunny cliamte has a great effect on the village
people and visitors alike and everyone appreciates the beauty of the
surrounding countryside. Figs and kiwi ripen in the house gardens,
grape vines flourish up to 900 mt. on the Sonnenberg slopes in the
nearby Nature Park and apple orchards stretch as far as the eye can
see. There are more apple trees in the valley than there are inhabitants!
The sun bleaches the wooden balconies of the quaint little farmhouses
and walkers and hikiers get a very enviable tan. LIfe is laid-back
and relaxed here and there is so much for guests to do and see. The
state-of-the-art Aqua Adventure Park is very popular and there are
something like fifty Waalwege, gentle, shady paths meandering along
the farmers' irrigation channels. Why not join us on our guided walk
"Strolls along the Waalwege" and find out a little more
about them! The local Tourist Office has a variety of offers to help
you make the most of our sunshine for...315 days a year!
