Holidays in Dorf Tirol

The holiday resort Dorf Tirol, that can also be reached with a historic chair lift, is located on a sunny panoramic hill above the city of Meran, at the foot of Mt. Mutspitze. The municipal district goes from Zenoberg, bordering Meran, to the peaks of Texel Group.

You can make a pleasant walk around Dorf Tirol and explore the idyllic vineyards, go upwards with the cableway to see the “Muthöfe” farms – some of the highest mountain farms of the region, which are still cultivated, or do a challenging tour to the summits of Texel Group. The alpine hiking area with the Sprons Lakes is connected to the village via the Hochmuth cableway. Countless promenades and thematic paths offer beautiful hiking possibilities.

If you take a stroll out to the castle hill near Dorf Tirol, you might spot a few familiar – or perhaps unfamiliar – birds flying towards you. No wonder, as this is where Gufyland – the bird rescue centre – is located. Birds found injured and helpless receive attention and expert care here. As soon as an animal is fit again, it is released back into the wild.

Twice a day (except Mondays), experienced falconers put on a flight show featuring birds of prey and owls for visitors at Gufyland. There is also a tour where you can learn a lot about the bird species, their habitats and nature conservation. 

Throughout the year, exciting events take place at various locations in Dorf Tirol. Whether apple blossom, musical Soirées at Tyrol Castle, the Schlossfestspiele, VinoCulti - Wein(ER)leben or the Tyrolean Advent in the Castle.

You can sample typical dishes and specialities from the region not only at the culinary events, but also in the local farm taverns, restaurants and hotels. South Tyrolean wine also plays a major role here. The wineries in Dorf Tirol have a long tradition and also offer exciting wine tastings.
