In the winter season 2021/22 the new cable car Olang 1+2 will be open for skiers for the first time. 

With a speed of 6.5m/s and a transport capacity of 3,900 persons per hour, the new lift is the ascent system with the highest transport capacity at Kronplatz/Plan de Corones.  

With the architectural masterpiece of Dip-Ing. Cornelius Schlotthauer (former Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects) and the modern lift technology of Doppelmayr Italia, the Olang 1+2 lift system is the new highlight on the No. 1 ski mountain in South Tyrol.

The new cable car is not only the fastest and most innovative, but also one of the most comfortable lifts leading directly from the valley to the summit.

The playground situated in close proximity to nature stretches out over several hundred meters and invites the whole family to test their abilities in the forest playground with its water world and climbing area. Whilst enjoying this, the children breathe the fresh, healthy forest air while simultaneously refreshing and strengthening their brain, their whole being in fact, with oxygen. The play trail is mostly accessible with a pushchair. It is ideal as a place to go for a stroll or longer walk, a stop off point on a day trip to the Pusteria Valley, Lake Braies/Prags or the panoramic walk at Plan de Corones. Starting point is the elementary school in Valdaora di Sopra (street Aue 16), from there crossing the bridge, in about 5 minutes you can reach easily the Kids World.

With their key figures, the "ERTA" can be quite impressive and does not need to fear comparisons with other prestigious racing circuits. The start is at 1.605 m above sea level on the Piz de Plaies and is served by the same named cable car. The goal, on the other hand, is 1.200 m on the "Pedagà" slope and thus has a height difference of 405 m with a length of 1.325 m.

Also impressive is the slope, with an average of 32% with a lowest inclination of 22% and a maximum inclination of 61% on the "Gran Para" slope in the middle part of the track. On the "ERTA" track, which was built in 2003 on the initiative of winter pioneer Erich Kastlunger, has hosted some editions of the FIS European Cup, both GS and SL. Among others, Marcel Hirscher (AUT), Marcus Sandell (FIN), Alexander Ploner (ITA), Florian Eisath (ITA) and Kalle Palander (FIN) were the winners.

Traditions and a glimpse of times long gone

The mountain farmsteads on the southern hillside of the Pusteria/Pustertal valley are a remnant of the times when the Romans began to settle in the area. Only a little is left of the ancient baths of Ilistra/Ilstern, to which the locals once flocked in search of the soothing medicinal effect of their spa waters. Not far off, a small chapel has successfully defied the centuries and can easily be reached on a meditation trail. But hiking along Monghezzo/Getzenberg also offers plenty of impressions of the hard life and labor of mountain farmers, and the ancient farmhouses are often named after the dwellers' special dedication: The Vögler farmstead, for example, recalls the old Tyrolean tradition of fowling, or bird-catching.
Half-way up the route at 1112 m, the Jausenstation Hoferhof inn is a fine place for a break and some refreshments. A small, carefully restored chapel is all that is left of a hermitage, which is said to have been located not far from the Getzenbergerhof inn. The Kustoler-Hof farmstead was named after the Romance term for a fortified area, and the Roman milestone on the western edge of the hamlet Casteldarne/Ehrenburg is yet another witness of the ancient settlements in and around Chienes/Kiens.
