Location & what to see

Family Hotel Gutenberg is located on Via Ifinger in Scena, a hillside hamlet about 2 km from the village centre overlooking the Passeier Valley, in a quiet residential area surrounded by vineyards and woods typical of the Rétic slope above Merano.

Merano is about 6 km away, while Merano’s railway station can be reached in just over 4 km; the Ifinger cable car, which connects Scena to the mountain of the same name, is less than 10 minutes away by car. Bolzano Airport is 27 km away. In the immediate surroundings there are also the Thurnerhof restaurant, just 250 metres away, and Petermann at 500 metres.

From Merano, the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens (about 4 km) are easily reached, along with the Princely Castle and the Sissi Gardens, ideal for spring and summer walks. In winter the area is suited to excursions towards the Ifinger lifts and winter walks along the panoramic trails above Scena, while in summer the Texelgruppe Nature Park, less than a kilometre away, offers hiking routes through woods and mountain huts. Merano’s historic centre, with its thermal baths and long promenade along the Passirio, remains the most convenient destination for a half-day trip.
