The Kronplatz

No. 1 ski mountain in winter in South Tyrol, popular excursion in summer. The cable car takes you to the summit of the action in just a few minutes.

It measures 2,275m at its highest point and from its peak, you can look out from one mountain chain to the next - the Kronplatz on the edge of the Dolomites. To conquer the peak on skis, there are 120 km of pistes and 32 modern lift facilities to choose from. Sunny mountain hut terraces are naturally also present. It is here thatfamilies, hikers and leisure explorers come to sample the cuisine when they explore the Kronplatz by mountain bike or while paragliding. The peak is also worth a visit for those who enjoy trendy museum architecture: the LUMEN and MMM Corones sparkle in modern forms against a spectacular backdrop.

The Ladin cuisine

There is one sure thing: in the Ladin valleys, you'll never stay on an empty stomach. In the kitchens of Gröden/Val Gardena, Alta Badia and Kronplatz, there's always a pot on the stove and mouth-watering smells that remind you of your grandmothers. A traditional dish called "Panicia" is a barley soup with vegetables and meat served with slight variants across South Tyrol. But the Ladin cuisine offers far more delicacies: the local dumplings "Bales" , potato dumplings "Gnoch" and fritters filled with spinach and ricotta cheese "Turtres". You can also try a popular dish known as "Grestl", roasted potatoes and veal cut into pieces or "Fortaies", spiral fried pancakes. Besides tasting delicious, the "Jufa", a kind of milk pudding that is traditionally eaten in a pot and with a spoon, is likewise an authentic experience.

Where can I eat well in the Kronplatz region?

From simple mountain huts to well-kept inns and award-winning restaurants: the food served here is the very definition of South Tyrolean cuisine. Light Mediterranean dishes, down-to-earth Alpine treats and high-quality raw ingredients.

That’s what we are proud of

How about pure stone pine oil from wild high-Alpine plants ? Freshly made jams using local strawberries? Honey with the South Tyrolean seal of quality? Or a hand-carved bowl made from local wood? In the Kronplatz region, as in the rest of South Tyrol, you will find a wide range of local, high-quality foods and hand-made everyday objects and art objects. Lots of producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and get to know the producers. In this way, you will experience moments of delicious flavour as well as exciting insider knowledge about cultivation and processing. With a bit of luck, you can even look over the shoulders of craftsmen at work as they create jewellery, wooden sculptures and baskets while strolling through the village or town. Hand craftsmanship has a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. High quality and durability are the primary factors, which are achieved through the use of proprietary manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials. This allows us to create products that are only available here.

Shopping as an experience

Fresh from the farm or carved from the best wood. You can purchase products with a clear conscience from our farmers or artisans - an enriching experience in itself.
