Due to the abundance of sunshine, the southern location and its position in the valley basin, it gets very hot in Merano at the height of summer. Life seems to slow down a little in the chirping of the cicadas and the singing of the crickets, and on the long evenings people meet in the light of the sunset in the cafés of the city centre and stroll through the alleys. The night provides cooling, so you can still sleep well. Those looking for cooling during the day escape to the mountains, where the air temperature is much lower but the sun still shines stronger. Now is the time for high altitude tours on the alpine pastures around Merano 2000 or the Ifinger, on the peaks of the Texelgruppe, to the Spronser lakes and the via ferratas on the Ifinger or in the Schnals Valley.
Long music summer evenings in Merano
Merano's city centre is all about music in the summer. Well-known musicians of Italian pop music are guests at the annual "Midsummer Night" series of events, and jazz lovers get their money's worth at the "South Tyrol Jazz Festival" and "MeranOJazz".
The "TuesdayEvening in Merano" series of events is also extremely varied and includes concerts, performances, fashion shows and shows on weekly changing themes. There is also plenty of live music and an extensive programme for children.
In late summer, the South Tyrol Festival Merano takes place annually, which is one of the most renowned classical music festivals in Europe and brings the elite of classical music to the magnificent Kursaal.
