Falzeben extends at an altitude of about 1,600 m a.s.l., high above Avelengo. This village is above all known as the valley station of the Falzeben Cable Car with its yellow gondolas taking hikers in summer and skiers in winter to the fabulous area of Merano 2000. Moreover Merano 2000 is a superlative cycling area, offering trails in every level of difficulty. By the way: Merano 2000 is also considered the recreation area of the inhabitants of Merano. Those who are interested in minerals can take a look at the mineral exhibition near the valley station.
Starting point for hikes is, however, also the parking lot (subject to charges) Falzeben, from where you can e.g. reach the Moschwald alpine pasture, the Rifugio Valcanova, the Waidmann pasture and the Kirchsteiger alpine pasture. Also a stage of the European long-distance hiking trail E5 runs here. To those, however, who want to climb higher, we recommend a mountain tour to the Monte Ivigna.
An absolute must-do: a ride with the summer toboggan run Alpin Bob Merano 2000, the longest one of Italy. A real adventure, not only for kids.
