Austria
A dream destination for both beginners and demanding skiers.
Information about the Resort
Plan de Corones, or Kronplatz, (2275 m) is situated in the heart of Pusteria Valley and is one of the largest ski areas within the Dolomiti Superski. With 119 km of slopes and modern ski lifts located mostly on a distinctive, dome-shaped, treeless peak it is a perfect destination for both skiers and snowboarders. With its variety, high-quality slopes and 360-degree panoramic views, Kronplatz has earned its reputation as a dream destination for both beginners and demanding skiers. Thanks to 100% snowmaking coverage the ski season is surprisingly long and the slopes are maintained in excellent condition. Due to the round shape of the mountain you can usually find a sunny slope all day long in the ski resort of Kronplatz, accompanied by a superb view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites. Since the resort is located in German speaking part of Italy it offers a great variety of cultures and cuisines. After skiing tourists can visit an architectural jewel on the summit of the Kronplatz: the Messner Mountain Museum MMM Corones, integrated in this natural setting by Zaha Hadid and dedicated to the legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
