Do you think the most wonderful time of the year can never be long enough? No sooner said than done: in the spa town of Merano, you can experience the magic of Christmas from the end of November to the beginning of January. But how can you imagine the Merano Christmas season?
Merano at Christmas looks like...
... snow-covered mountains that line the valley basin, the lights of the spa town under a pale blue sky in which the first stars are already visible, festively decorated streets, cheerful hustle and bustle and contemplative wonder, twinkling lights and flickering candles, cheerful faces, wide eyes and enamoured glances, fir green and red velvet, winter sun and fluffy flakes, inviting shop windows and brightly lit cafés, shiny wrapped parcels and a variety of goods at one of the most famous Christmas markets in the Alps.
Merano at Christmas sounds like...
... soft Christmas music playing from shops and pubs, which also frames your walk through the Merano Christmas market, church bells in the distance announcing the joyous festivities, the almost silent falling of the flakes and your footsteps in the fresh snow, the scratching of skates on ice, Father Christmas quietly sneaking away, the rustling of wrapping paper, the crackling of the fire in the fireplace, the clinking of glasses and cups and the uncorking of a sparkling wine together with your loved ones.
Merano at Christmas tastes like...
... a steaming mulled wine at the Christmas market in Merano, enjoyed with your companion or a spontaneous acquaintance, hearty goulash with dumplings and sauerkraut, a warming barley soup, fondue or raclette with friends, Krapfen and Strauben, Zelten and pretzels, freshly prepared crêpes and crunchy fruit skewers with chocolate, enjoyed on a stroll through the city centre, Spitzbuam and coconut biscuits, vanilla crescents and lemon hearts, gingerbread and rum balls that you simply want to eat again and again.
Merano at Christmas smells like...
... freshly fallen snow and cold winter air, home-made soaps and fragrances, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange peel and candied fruit, tree resin slowly oozing from the freshly cut and richly decorated Christmas trees that stand on every corner at Christmas in Italy, the sweet wintery scent of the candle you have just lit for the first time, the rustic woollen slippers that keep your feet warm even on chilly December evenings and the smell of new emanating from your favourite present.
Merano at Christmas feels like...
... warm hats, soft gloves and a large, hand-knitted woollen scarf, cool noses warming up over a steaming cup of hot chocolate, the feeling of being part of a community, coming home, coming together, becoming quiet, being a child again, contemplation, cosiness and slowing down, an honest felicitation, the magic of anticipation, a warm hug and a beautiful memory - in short: Christmas in the mountains in Merano is love at first sight.
