The farm
Unterthurnerhof is located on the Sonnenberg above Meran. Our farm is located at around 1,200 m above Riffian, with a breathtaking view of the Sarntal valley massif and the Meran valley basin. Surrounded by forest and meadows, you can leave your hectic everyday life behind and gaze at Dorf Tirol, Schenna and Meran from above. Walk barefoot through the meadows, smell the scent of fresh hay, unwind with breathtaking views - you can experience all that and much more here with us.
We are a small dairy farm, hidden away from the hustle and bustle. Both young and old can enjoy a stress-free holiday in the fresh air here. For those who still don't want to miss out on a stroll through the town, Meran is only approx. 13 km away.
