Adventure hiking with children in Lana
Advertising: We had the chance to discover this excursion destination in Merano with children cooperation with the tourism association Lana and the surrounding area.
A visit to the local mountain Vigiljoch belongs to Lana like the apples. Especially with children, it is the perfect hiking destination, because you have a beautiful panorama despite easy paths. At the top you can look forward to a relaxed hike from the Black Lake, to the idyllic church of Sankt Vigilius and with a subsequent stop in the Familienalm Gampl.
The trip to the Vigiljoch begins with the modern cable car, which lets you float to a height of 1,486 meters in 6 minutes. From there you can continue your journey with the historic chairlift. You glide leisurely over the picturesque landscape. A wonderful rest, almost meditative, so that you get out deeply relaxed at the top.
Once at the top, there are several ways in which you can design your adventure hike in Lana.
Everything in one place: Familienalm, Waldsee and the little church of Sankt Vigilius
We have decided on the following tour. First, follow the signs through the forest to the Waldsee Schwarzen Lake, where you can take a refreshing break at the picturesque lake. From there you follow the way to the idyllic church of Sankt Vigil and have it to the next destination, the Familienalm Gampl not far away. There, the little ones can let off steam on trampolines, in a giant sandbox and with many other play opportunities, while the parents enjoy the wonderful view of Merano. There are even animals on the Familienalm. Back to the cable car it only takes about 30 minutes.
Good to know: The cable car only runs every 30 minutes. One person can ride in the chairlift. So you have to take smaller kids on your lap and kids from 8 are allowed to drive alone.
The adventure hiking with children on the Vigiljoch can also be found on the brand new discovery map for families in the region. Here you can discover even more hidden treasures that will immerse you in the depths of the region.
