Your carefree vacation at the La Maiena Meran Resort

Together for a carefree time

Dear guests,

We all face extraordinary challenges at the moment. If we pull together, we can overcome them. Luckily, South Tyroleans have always excelled at pulling together. Ultimately, it is that team spirit that will get us back to an easier way of life.

We already look forward to living our lives free from worries again. South Tyrol has so much to offer in extraordinary and normal times alike: sweeping Alpine pastures, tranquil summits, hidden places of power, unparalleled food and the freshest air you can imagine.

It is with great pleasure that we are making all the preparations for the reopening on 12th of May and look forward from the bottom of our hearts to pampering you all again soon with us at La Maiena Merano Resort.

For your upcoming holiday planning, our reservations team can be reached daily from 8:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m. by phone at +39 0473 447000 or also at any time by mail: info@lamaiena.it.

In connection with Corona effects (such as travel warnings, border closures or a positive test result), you can cancel your stay free of charge up to 24 h before arrival.

In anticipation of a healthy reunion!

Your family Waldner
& the La Maiena team
