Zirmerhof – your hotel & residence near Merano

The Zirmerhof Hotel and Residence is a beautifully-located estate at 500 metres above sea level in the village of Rifiano/Riffian, at the entrance to the Passiria Valley and the Texelgruppe Nature Park. Tucked away in the green at just 5 kilometres from the spa town of Merano/Meran, the Zirmerhof is an oasis of quietness and relaxation. The lifts to the Hirzer, Hochmuth and Merano 2000 hiking areas are all within a few minutes’ car or bus drive.

The Merano area is blessed with a mild, Mediterranean climate that is perfect to enjoy long days out in the great outdoors – especially in spring and autumn, when the warm temperatures and fresh mountain air of the Passiria valley invite to explore and indulge.
