About the Resort
About Kronplatz
Kronplatz (Plan de Corones) is a striking, panettone-shaped mountain situated in the heart of South Tyrol, Italy. Famed for having one of the most advanced lift networks in Europe—primarily consisting of high-speed, heated gondolas—the resort offers an exceptionally comfortable and efficient mountain experience. At the 2,275-meter summit, visitors are treated to stunning 360-degree views of the Dolomites and the Zillertal Alps, alongside architectural marvels like the Messner Mountain Museum Corones designed by Zaha Hadid.
The Resort
The skiing here is characterized by meticulously groomed, wide-open boulevards that are perfect for carving and cruising. It operates as a focal point of the Dolomiti Superski area, blending Austrian efficiency with Italian flair. The mountain is accessed from several base villages, including the lively town of Brunico (Bruneck) and the charming Ladin village of San Vigilio di Marebbe.
Beyond the impeccable pistes, Kronplatz is a culinary hotspot. The resort seamlessly blends traditional hearty Tyrolean alpine fare with sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine. Between its cutting-edge infrastructure, exceptional snowmaking capabilities, and diverse terrain, it is a premier destination for families, intermediates, and aggressive piste-skiers alike.
On the Mountain
Kronplatz offers a highly unique layout where wide, sunny blue and red runs dominate the upper mountain and eastern flanks. Conversely, experts are drawn to the northern and western faces to conquer the famous 'Black Five'—a collection of steep, sustained black runs that plunge over 1,000 vertical meters to the valley floor.
Dolomites / South Tyrol
A spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site known for its jagged limestone peaks, rich blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, and world-class culinary scene.
