Tessa Group Nature Park

The Tessa Group Nature Park was established in 1976 and is the largest nature park in South Tyrol. The area comprises approximately 33,400 hectares and includes all communities from the Senales Valley to the Passiria Valley.

The highest peak is located in the Senales Valley, the Cima Nera peak is 3,628 metres in height, and the Similaun Glacier, which crosses the Senales Valley, is the biggest glacier in the Tessa Group Nature Park.

Hiking in the Tessa Group Nature Park means hiking through scented alpine pastures, past chamois and other deer, watching frogs in little lakes and ponds, observing eagles and falcons while they are flying, and simply being in balance with nature. Here you also find the highest alpine lakes, wild rivers, glaciers and waterfalls. The Merano Alpine Path is ideal for getting an overview. The path leads 100km through the Tessa Group Nature Park.
