HOLIDAYS - WHERE THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY “TIROL” HAS ITS ORIGINS

In South Tyrol, in the Burggrafenamt area, Etschtal valley: Dorf Tirol, health resort situated at 596 m above sea level, near Meran.

Dorf Tirol is said to be the sunny terrace of the spa town Meran. In fact, in this place the sun shines a little bit brighter and a little bit longer than anywhere else in the region; anyhow the Burggrafenamt area features lots of climatic advantages.

The health resort has about 2,350 inhabitants and approx. 5,000 guest beds. The wide and varied offer for tourists ranges from moderate-priced family-run guest houses to luxurious 5-star-hotels. Every year, 700,000 overnight stays are recorded. The village is so wide that Dorf Tirol never seems to be crowded. It lies on an extensive sunny plateau with a total surface of 2,600 ha, with vineyards and fruit orchards. A site of an extraordinary beauty in the middle of a big nature park.
