Crónicas de Tscherms - Cermes
Tscherms (Cermes in Italian) grew from a cluster of Roman-era farmsteads along the Etsch/Adige valley. Its medieval core retains a few frescoed houses and the 13th-century St. Peter's church, but the village really expanded during the 19th-century wine boom. Today it's a quiet commuter town and base for the Meran high trail, with more orchard than pavement.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Garni Platter, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (2nd or 3rd) for a quieter stay, as the lift serves all floors and there's no need to worry about stairs-only sections. This will also give you a better chance to spot the surrounding mountains and valleys, especially if you're facing east or west.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the entrance, as there are three steps at the entrance and no ramp, which might be a challenge for those with mobility issues. Additionally, rooms near the lift might be noisier due to the constant traffic.
