Kronplatz: ski till you drop!

All keen skiers agree: the Kronplatz is South Tyrol’s number-one mountain for skiing. And this is really quite something, since our region is packed with famous ski resorts. The Dolomiti Superski ski pass offers you access to a vast total of 1,200 kilometers of pistes… one-tenth of which – that is 116 kilometers of slopes – are on the Kronplatz alone.

32 lifts and cable cars take you up to a wide range of slopes for every taste and ability. And in great comfort: some even have heated seats and Wi-Fi connection. How about sending that spectacular photo to your friends back home, almost live? Just saying ...

The huge array of ski pistes with guaranteed snow might make it hard to choose, but there’s definitely no chance of getting bored. No need to ski the same piste twice if you don’t want to! Just exploring all the fresh slopes on the Kronplatz for the first time takes at least a few days. And then there’s the legendary Black Five, with five thrilling black runs! A must for perfecting your wedel technique, and a great conversation topic for the cozy bar at Hotel Rudolf in the evenings. But also not forgetting the dense network of gentler blue and red pistes on the Kronplatz.

From elegant carvers to the daredevil grandpa, from the little ones on the children's course to the enthusiastic pleasure skier, it’s easy to find the perfect ski piste for every taste and level here. And when it's time for a bite to eat, you can choose from a range of traditional mountain huts through to modern restaurants to refuel before continuing your ski experience. Round off your glorious day of snow with one of our four stunning valley runs. Then the perfect service for our guests at Hotel Rudolf: our free shuttle service to the valley station and the Kronplatz cable car. And for those of you already planning to enjoy a little Rudolf on your next ski holiday, you are welcome to store your skis and snowboards safely in our ski cellar until your next stay!
