Montescena is situated above the centre of Scena and mainly consists of a little hamlet with some 115 inhabitants. Accessible is the village not only via the road, but also by the Taser Cable Car, taking its passengers up to 1,450 m a.s.l. From the mountain station you can head for several hiking destinations round Monte Ivigna or scale its summit.

One of the main attractions of Montescena is the family-run Malga Taser, which is an excursion destination that is based on ecological principles. The "Almdorf", which is the centre of the hamlet of Montescena, is surrounded by meadows and is particularly suited to families with children, offering a number of attractions.

A particular event taking place on Montescena is the so-called “Berger Pfinstig“, taking place from May to October every first Thursday of the month at some mountain huts in the hiking area between Verdines and Merano 2000, as “Pfinstig“ means Thursday in dialect. Traditional dishes, folk music and also an animation programme for children is offered.
