Our hotel in sunny Merano – your feel-good holiday home
Set on a green hill north of the spa town of Merano/Meran, in South Tyrol, Hotel Zirmerhof is a small holiday retreat with a homely feel. From unflagging hikers to culture vultures and unrepentant gourmets, everyone here can enjoy a tailored holiday getting plenty of whatever they seek, be it outdoor adventures, culinary indulgence, spa pleasures or just some peace and quiet. Or a good blend of all the above.
Whatever your idea of a memorable holiday, your experience here in the Merano and Environs holiday area will not disappoint – leave room in your baggage for dozens of fond memories!
The Zirmerhof is nestled amongst the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park with its 3,000 m high peaks and the Mediterranean Merano region. Nowhere else in South Tyrol do you find these two opposite so close to each other.

100% HOLIDAYS WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE
Yes, even the climate takes a holiday with us … Here, in one of the roughly 30 Vitalpina hotels, sustainability and a respectful approach to nature and resources have always been at the heart of what we do.
We don’t just call ourselves “eco-hotels in South Tyrol” – we truly are. Every Vitalpina host is committed to caring for our extraordinary natural surroundings, ensuring a future that’s fit for generations to come.
Sustainability is more than a principle here; it’s a responsibility. Working with trusted partners, we’ve developed a tool to calculate our carbon footprint. Each member tracks emissions annually and takes active steps to reduce them through our “Climate Contribution” initiative.
Avoiding plastics, saving water, using climate-friendly energy, and preventing waste – especially food waste – come as second nature. We also champion local supply chains, regional produce, and car-free holidays.
Reducing our ecological footprint guides every decision our hosts make. For the emissions we can’t eliminate, we support social, economic, and environmental projects that give back to nature and our communities.
Join us on the journey to a sustainable future and experience one of our eco-conscious hotels in South Tyrol.
