Winter snow sports, summer hiking and spectacular year-round scenery welcome visitors to this holiday region in Italy’s South Tyrol region in the Pustertal Valley.
Enjoy a vacation of outdoor adventures and breathtaking views at Kronplatz Holiday Region. Ski and snowboard the slopes on three mountains. You’ll also find terrain parks, cross-country skiing, toboggan runs and open space for snowshoe hikes.
Kronplatz-Plan de Corones is the largest ski area, with 72 miles (116 kilometres) of slopes. Ride the 31 lifts and cable cars to access runs suitable for varied skiing abilities. At the peak, experience 360-degree panoramic views of the Dolomite Mountains, many over 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) tall. UNESCO has declared this mountain range a World Heritage Site.
Speikboden has 23 miles (37 kilometres) of runs. One highlight is a 5-mile (8-kilometre) descent with a vertical drop of nearly 5,000 feet (1,500 metres). Klausberg, the highest regional resort, has 19 miles (31 kilometres) of slopes and an upper elevation of 8,230 feet (2,510 metres). Visit all three mountains for multiple days of exciting ski and snowboard challenges.
The region’s unique mix of German, Italian and Ladin cultures, cuisines and languages provide a blend of alpine, Mediterranean and cosmopolitan experiences. Relax with midday and après-ski fun at bars and cafés from the valley to the tops of the mountains. Ice skate on village rinks and buy handcrafted gifts at Brunico-Bruneck’s much-loved Christmas Market.
In summer, hike, mountaineer and paraglide to appreciate invigorating fresh air and glorious mountain scenery. Explore picturesque castles, secluded chapels, Alpine dairy huts and earthen pyramids. Follow strenuous mountain bike routes or take a more relaxing ride on an electric bicycle with a return on the valley rail line.
Brunico-Bruneck and 16 other regional villages have shopping, dining and a full range of lodging options. With most accommodations, you will receive a HOLIDAYPASS authorizing free public transportation in South Tyrol.
Reach the Kronplatz Holiday Region by car, shuttle or train from international airports in Innsbruck, Munich or Venice. A major rail arrives in Fortezza-Franzensfeste in South Tyrol-Südtirol, where you can change to the local line into the Val Pusteria-Pustertal valley.
