From our hotel you can reach the most beautiful places and places of the 3,558 inhabitants village St. Leonhard in Passeier by foot in no time:

The parish church of St. Leonhard is definitely worth seeing with its neo-Gothic high altar, a baptismal font made of white marble, and valuable murals.
The French cemetery commemorates the battles between the French and the valley inhabitants in 1809. 230 Frenchmen who died in the battle were buried here.
Sandwirt is the birthplace of the Tyrolean freedom fighter, Andreas Hofer, and is now an inn.

Empress Sisi visited Meran as a spa town in the past and even today, Meran attracts thousands of tourists. No wonder: the palm trees set against a backdrop of snow-covered three thousand metre peaks, the medieval arcades and enchanting art nouveau architecture all provide a unique flair. Stroll along the Passirio/Passer river, visit the botanical gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, or undertake a shopping trip in the historic town of Meran.

You can also reach the provincial capital of Bolzano in a short time from Val Passiria/Passeiertal. Its splendid gothic cathedral, picturesque fruit market, Piazza Walther/Waltherplatz, the legendary Catinaccio/Rosengarten, and the old town of Bolzano constantly win your admiration.

The scent of oranges, spices, Christmas pastries, and Christmas carols put you in the mood for the most beautiful time of the year. At the Christmas market in Meran you will find many gift ideas and Christmas presents.

My island is the Wiesenhof in St. Leonhard! A good place to recharge your batteries, to feel good, to get away from it all, to meet new friends every year.

We have been coming to Wiesenhof in South Tyrol for what feels like 30 years. The reason for our visit is the total package we get in the hotel.
