Location Map

Innsbruck in westerly direction (do NOT follow Brenner/Italy) aim for Swizerland (Schweiz) then take exit for - Landeck - Nauders and Reschenpass (also signed for Meran).
[ Border crossing - Reschenpass ] An hour (ish) from here.
Direction : (Meran/Merano) through Reschen/Resia - Mals/Malles - Laas/Lasa - Schlanders/Silandro then another 5kms

The turning for Coldrano/Goldrain is on the RIGHT after a small industrial zone (on right side) and a short tunnel. It's only 70m after the tunnel exit so watch your speed, it's small and you could miss it. If you do miss it just take the next RIGHT and you'll double back on yourself. If you don't miss it then you will find two speed bumps and a bridge at the bottom which you go LEFT underneath and carry on straight up through the village. The castle is at the end... you can't miss it. If in doubt just follow the brown signs for the castle (Schloss).

Autostrada / Motorway :
Exit : Bolzano Sud (45-60 min from here)
Direction : Merano - Naturno - Castelbello - Laces - Coldrano (don't turn into these towns unless of course you want a touristic detour, stay on the main road).

The turning for Coldrano/Goldrain is around the bend, on the right, after passing the Shell garage. It's a small narrow road that runs parallel to the main road next to the apple trees. Follow the brown signs for the castle (Schloss) on your right.

Bozen/Bolzano - Meran/Merano (2 per hour, journey time of 40 min)
Meran/Merano - Goldrain/Coldrano (1 per hour, journey time of 50 min)

10 min walk to Castle Goldrain/Coldrano from the train station. A note for the Brits... you will find the trains remarkably reliable and VERY inexpensive to what you're used to!
