Private Transfer Milan
& Malpensa to Merano
Door-to-door Mercedes with an English-speaking driver from your Milan hotel, Linate, Bergamo or Malpensa arrivals to your hotel or spa in Merano, Tirolo, Scena or Lana. About 3 h 35 from Milan, motorway and expressway all the way, with no mountain pass. From Malpensa from €1,005 per car.
Milan or Malpensa to Merano by Private Car
A private transfer from Milan to Merano covers about 305 km and takes around 3 h 35: the A4 motorway past Bergamo and Brescia to Verona, north on the A22 Brenner motorway past Trento to Bolzano, and the last 28 km on the MeBo expressway to Merano. From Linate it takes about 3 h 20 and from Bergamo, the closest Milan airport, about 2 h 50. From Malpensa, on the far side of Milan, it is about 3 h 45. The price is for the whole car, not per person, and includes fuel, motorway tolls and parking.
The whole route is in Italy, on motorway and expressway, with no border, no tunnel toll and no mountain pass, so it is open all year. By train the trip means changes in Verona and Bolzano with your luggage; with a private car you go from arrivals or your Milan hotel straight to the door of your hotel in Merano.
We drive to every hotel in Merano and the villages around it, Tirolo, Scena, Lagundo, Marlengo and Lana, to the Terme Merano spa, to the valley station of the Merano 2000 ski area and, on request, into the Val Venosta and the Val Passiria. Check your price and book online →

Is there a mountain pass on the way to Merano?
No. Our route is motorway and expressway all the way and open all year. The Stelvio Pass and the Timmelsjoch (Passo del Rombo) near Merano are closed in winter, roughly from November to late May, and the Passo Giovo can close or need chains after snowfall, so we never rely on them.
Can you drive from Lake Como to Merano over the Stelvio Pass?
In summer, on request, yes: the Stelvio is one of the great mountain roads of the Alps and we can plan it as a scenic route with extra time. It is closed in winter, roughly from November to late May, so from autumn to spring we drive on the motorway via Verona. Bellagio to Merano starts from €805, Como from €855 and Tremezzo from €935 per car.

Is there a train from Milan to Merano?
Yes, but it means changes in Verona and Bolzano and about 4 hours with your luggage, and from Malpensa you first need about an hour into Milan. A private car takes about 3 h 35 from your Milan hotel, door to door.

Which Airport for Merano: Verona, Bergamo, Linate or Malpensa?
Verona is the closest major airport to Merano, about 2 hours by car, and transfers from there are on request. Of the Milan airports, Bergamo is the closest at about 2 h 50, then Linate at about 3 h 20 and Malpensa at about 3 h 45, on the far side of Milan. Malpensa has the most long-haul and international flights, so many of our guests land there and drive straight round Milan to South Tyrol.
Merano, the Spa Town of South Tyrol
Merano, Meran in German, has been a spa resort since the 19th century, with promenades along the Passirio river, palm trees and a mild climate below mountains over 3,000 m. The Terme Merano thermal baths are in the centre, the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle climb the hillside above the town, and from late November the Christmas market lines the river promenade. In winter a cable car climbs from the edge of town to the Merano 2000 ski area.
Mountain Passes Near Merano in Winter
The Stelvio Pass, the scenic road from Lombardy over to the Val Venosta, and the Timmelsjoch (Passo del Rombo) into Austria are closed in winter, roughly from November to late May. The Passo Giovo to Vipiteno can close or need chains after snowfall. We never rely on any of them: our route from Milan is motorway and expressway all the way. In summer, on request, we can drive from Lake Como over the Stelvio as a scenic route.
Practical Tips: Saturdays and the Drive Back
Saturday is change-over day in the Dolomites and the A22 Brenner motorway can be slow between Bolzano and Verona, so we plan extra time. For an afternoon flight from Malpensa, we usually suggest leaving Merano about six hours before take-off, and about five hours for Linate or Bergamo.
