Village of Tisens in winter with parish church, snowy landscape and mountains, South Tyrol

Adventures on the slopes

Winter fun in Tesimo-Prissiano and Merano 2000
Like tiny butterflies, the snowflakes float gently across the snow-covered landscape of Tesimo, resting on the mountain peaks and giving nature an atmospheric white touch that feels like peacefulness, happiness and inner joy.

Even if it's so cosy in your apartment, it's well worth discovering our snow-covered beauty spots.
