The Property — Haus Lochmann
Haus Lochmann is a quiet, family-run 3-star in the centre of Lana, with a clean Alpine-modern look: light wood, white walls, a small pool out back. It suits travellers who want a calm base for hiking or cycling the South Tyrolean orchards, not a nightlife spot. The lobby smells of fresh apples from the bowl on the counter, and the owner often points out the daily bus to Merano.
Chronicles of Lana
Lana began as a Roman settlement along the trade route to the Reschen Pass, later became a cluster of farming hamlets under the Counts of Tirol. Its medieval core is compact, with a Gothic church and arcaded lanes, but the 19th-century spa boom and 20th-century apple cooperatives reshaped it into a quiet resort town. Today, it’s known for the Gothic St. Mary’s Church with its 500-year-old winged altar, and the Lana Fruit Festival in autumn. Culturally, it sits between German-speaking South Tyrol and Italian Trentino, giving it a bilingual, Tyrolean character.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lana guide →Best months
May, June and September — temperatures 18-25°C, long daylight hours, and the apple orchards are either in blossom or harvest-ready. Trails are open but not yet crowded.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak season; the Gampen Pass bike race and Merano Grape Festival draw crowds. Hotel prices jump to 1.5–2x shoulder rates, and rooms book out by April.
Budget shoulder season
April (post-Easter) and October (post-harvest) offer 20-30% discounts, mild days, and only a few other walkers. Cafés may close earlier, but all main trails remain passable.
Weather & packing
Summer afternoons can bring quick thunderstorms rolling in from the Dolomites, even on clear mornings. Pack a waterproof shell and sturdy walking shoes—flip-flops won’t cut it on the hills.
Live City Briefing — Lana
- The Lana–Merano cycle path is fully open after winter repairs, offering a flat 6-km ride along the Adige River. Bikes can be hired at the Lana train station.
- A new farmers’ market starts at 8:30 every Friday in Lana’s main square until October—bring a bag for local speck and Schüttelbrot bread.
- Construction work on the SS38 road through Lana may cause brief daytime closures until late 2026; check local traffic updates before driving to the Gampen Pass.

Look for 'panificio' or 'forno' in town centre for cheap bread-based snacks; no specific street-food market in this quiet residential area.
Supermarkets like Conad, Eurospin, or Lidl (on the outskirts) are common in the Val Venosta region; a small Coop is often in the village.
Affordable chain stores (e.g., OVS, Upim) and a weekly market (usually Thursday or Saturday mornings in Lana town square) for basic clothing.
