Welcome to the Leiter Alm in Tessa Group Nature Park.
The fantastic location of Leiter Alm, situated in Tessa Group nature park on Merano's Alta Via, makes the chalet a popular retreat and accommodation station.  . At the Leiter Alm guests are pampered and well looked after.

Opening times: April to November

Leiter Alm day customers are treated with culinary delights and enjoy delicious traditional and international cuisine and the idyllic surroundings and the sunny terrace.
For the children there is a playground with a trampoline in front of the inn, on the lawn, with plenty of room to stump around! The trip with the cable car from Velloi directly to the Leiter Alm is a great experience for children. Moreover, one can reach the hut from Tirolo over Hochmuth and Hans-Frieden path, and on the Alta Via di Merano. From Leiter Alm several hikes of varying levels of difficulty will lead you in and around the Tessa Group Nature Park. Whether you are high up on Plan ai Laghi in Sopranes or just doing a very cozy Alpine hike, everyone will find what their heart desires.
