Maranza is situated in Gitschberg Jochtal in South Tyrol. Set at an altitude of 2,510m, it offers incomparable views of more than 500 surrounding mountain peaks, many of which exceed 3,000m in height. The full panoramic view spans from the mountain tops of the Dolomites and over the peaks of the Zillertaler, Stubaier and Ötztaler Alps. Feel the astonishing calm and peaceful atmosphere of the Alpine scenery while basking in the endless freedom of high altitude. The circular panoramic platform on the mountain top enables visitors to take in the surrounding peaks by mapping out their names and heights.
From the upper station of the four person chairlift (which, in winter carries sports enthusiasts up the slope), visitors can easily reach the viewpoint and take in the unforgettable scenery before travelling back down to the valley below on skis.
