Avelengo, the sunny terrace of Merano

A country in the green of pastures and centuries-old forests

The apartment is located in Avelengo, a lovely mountain village surrounded by green alpine pastures and age-old forests; it lies on the sunny Tschöggelberg plateau and enjoys views of the majestic peaks of the Tessa Group.

Avelengo, a widespread country

There are four villages in the area, including Avelengo Paese (the administrative centre, but also home to hotels and beautiful mountain residences), where You&Me Relax Apartment is located. The accommodation is a 5-minute walk from the bus stop that takes you to the Falzeben ski lifts (from where you can reach the Merano 2000 ski area) or to the nearby Merano spa resort. 

The other resorts are Avelengo di Sopra (home to some of South Tyrol’s most luxurious hotels), Santa Caterina with its atmospheric 13th-century church and Falzeben, from where the ski lifts depart.

A few kilometres away, winter sports enthusiasts will find the Merano 2000 ski area, 40 kilometres of slopes, most of which are of medium difficulty, a snow park, the Alpin Bob toboggan run (the longest in Italy) and the Outdoor Kids Camp children’s area.

Gallery

In Avelengo, enjoying the spectacle of nature is a real pleasure, to the point that it was decided to make it a sort of natural cinema screen to be admired from different panoramic points. One such spot is the Knottn-kino, at 1,417 meters. It is an imposing open-air cinema with 30 seats (see image above) where the view extends over the Adige Valley, the peaks of the Tessa Group, Monte Penegal and Corno Bianco.
 
The territory of Avelengo occupies part of the Salto plateau, the largest expanse of larch woods in Europe and an authentic paradise for hiking enthusiasts, with trails suitable for everyone, with a panorama of the Adige Valley, Mendola and dell’Ortles in the background.

Trips and excursions for everyone

Avelengo is the starting point for trips and excursions, on foot or by mountain bike, with both easy and demanding routes.
 
In particular, two-wheel enthusiasts can count on numerous tracks of varying difficulty; a guide for passionate cyclists is also available at the local tourist office.
 
In the You&Me Relax Apartment you will find information illustrating the most suggestive itineraries.

Tourist itineraries, any ideas?

An itinerary not to be missed is the one that leads to three points equipped as real cinemas with reclining chairs, where the screen is made up of striking mountain views.

The most famous of these viewpoints is the Knottn-kino, at an altitude of 1,417 metres. Knottn means “rocks” in South Tyrolean dialect and kino means “cinema” in German. Discover an imposing open-air cinema with 30 seats (30 wooden and metal chairs, like the seats in a cinema) commissioned by the South Tyrolean artist Franz Messner, from which you can admire a unique view over the entire Adige Valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Tessa Group, with the wonderful terrace of Monte Penegal and the Corno Bianco. 

Avelengo is the starting point for excursions and hikes, on foot or by mountain bike, with both easy and challenging routes. Find information on the most beautiful routes at You&Me Relax Apartment.

Haflinger horses, what a symbol!

Avelengo is also home to the blond Haflinger horses, a strong, hardy breed to which a 2-kilometre trail has recently been dedicated, leading from the village of Avelengo (a 3-minute walk from our apartment) to the centre of Santa Caterina.

The village is not only known for the little church bearing the same name, but for the Sulfner riding stables, the birthplace of the Haflinger horse. There are several riding stables in the area that organise horse and carriage rides as well as riding courses.
