There are many ski resorts in Italy. But only one Kronplatz …
Of all the ski resorts in Italy, the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz is one of the most renowned. It is also South Tyrol’s no. 1 ski paradise, and the unchallenged favourite among skiers and snow-lovers of all ages. It offers a well-balanced mix of runs of all levels of difficulty, as well as state-of-the-art lifts. An offer that is ideally rounded up by a wide culinary choice that makes skiing in the Dolomites an even more palatable experience. The Plan de Corones/Kronplatz also owes its place in the pantheon of the top ski resorts in Italy to the unbelievable all-round view to the peaks of the Dolomites and Alps that can be enjoyed from its slopes. Last but not least, the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz includes three different ski areas, for maximum variety. These ski areas belong to the legendary Dolomiti Superski, i.e. the world’s largest ski carousel.
Unlike most other ski resorts in Italy, the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz loses none of its charm during the warm season – when the snow-coated landscapes make way for flower-dotted emerald meadows, the Plan de Corones gracefully turns into one of South Tyrol’s top hiking destinations!
There’s many a reason to spend a ski holiday at the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz. For starters, its variety – with a total of 116 km of pistes, boredom is out of the equation. Whether ski pro or beginner, you will be spoilt for choice with spectacular runs in all levels of difficulty. At the Plan de Corones /Kronplatz you will not need to tackle the same pistes twice, unless of course you choose to do so; something that very few ski resorts in Italy can offer. Among the various runs there are four top-to-bottom pistes and an irresistible attraction for the ambitious: the Black Five, 5 black pistes that have long become a must for the keen snow bashers. All the runs at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz are groomed daily and enjoy a 100% snow guarantee.
The services and facilities also contribute to an unforgettable skiing experience, and include 32 cutting-edge lifts offering all modern comforts such as heated seats, WiFi and more.
A professional team is there to provide assistance in case of emergency, and with the experienced ski instructors of the three ski schools at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz beginners of all ages will be in very good hands. There are of course a number of interesting refreshment facilities, such as traditional ski huts and modern restaurants where tired skiers can explore the local culinary marvels.
Surprisingly, a winter holiday at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz and a ski holiday at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz can be two very different experiences. The reason is that while this resort is among the best ski resorts in Italy, there is much more to it than just ski pistes. Its alternative winter attractions include breath-taking ski tours (on some days and at certain times one may even have a ski tour on the ski pistes) and toboggan runs, such as the one close to the “Korer” beginners’ piste. Other winter options range from the ice skating facilities in Riscone/Reischach to the idyllic snowshoeing tours, one of the best ways to experience the indescribable feeling of hovering over snow-coated landscapes.
