Where activities and culture live in harmony
Bruneck/Brunico, a vibrant town and capital of the Pustertal, is located at the bottom of the Kronplatz mountain. In the Kronplatz holiday region, skiing adventures and relaxing moments are both very popular: now it's your turn to choose between the two. But if you lay your eyes on the Kronplatz mountain, you'll notice a winter paradise opening up between the valley and summit. It's where all the advantages for a holiday in South Tyrol converge, like the Ladin and culturally rich Val Badia.
A mountain for skiers with a 360° panorama and slopes on every corner. Two exceptional museums. A vibrant and charming town and a side valley where biatholn athletes compete at the World Cup every year.
Two top events of the winter sports invite you the Dolomites region Kronplatz
The cross-country skiing world's attention is drawn to the Atholzertal, where once again, the 2024 Biathlon World Cup will be hosted, from January 18 to 21. Over four days, athletes coming from all over the world will compete in three disciplines and will strive to win a place on the podium in the Antholzertal Biathlon Center. People are particularly excited to follow one South Tyrolean during the competition: Dorothea Wierer, who has already brought home many victories.
January 30, 2024, it's an unmissable event for Alpine skiing enthusiasts. Kronplatz will host the women's Audi FIS Ski World Cup 2024 giant slalom. The world's best female ski racers will demonstrate their skills on the challenging Erta-Pista. With a length of 1,325 m, a vertical drop 405 m and an average grade of 61%, the demanding downhill requires flawless performances from the competitors.
Top-rated mountain for skiing, the Kronplatz is ideal for an eventful winter holiday
No matter if as a professional skier or someone who longs to become one: at Kronplatz, a total of 120 km of snow-sure and wide slopes are the cradle of skiing and the 31 modern lifts get you up to the slopes. Are you experienced in skiing? Five are the black runs, known for their steep terrain, that will challenge your skills. But if you're a beginner and want to learn skiing techniques, the excellent ski schools at Kronplatz will stand by your side. However, highly trained ski instructors cater lessons and approach both to children and adults' needs. You'll find the right skis and everything you need in the ski rentals at Kronplatz and choose from the latest models of the season. Embrace the thrill of a new adventure on your skis.
Kronplatz is one of the 12 ski resorts that have been brought together to form the world's largest ski carousel. The "Dolomiti Superki" pass gives you free access to 1,200 km of perfectly groomed slopes and the most modern cable cars, enchanting you with sprawling alpine views.
Located in a mind-blowing mountain lanscape, snow-sure ski runs and cross-country skiing tracks are the perfect place to taste the local gastronomy
After tearing up the slopes, take a deep breath in one of the 40 ski huts on the slopesides. Try the local dishes and start a unique local food experience, like the Ladin cuisine. On winter or snowshoe hikes you can combine winter sports with an amazing scenery and authenticity. Many are the alpine huts that offer you thoughtfully crafted dishes and some time to rest hideaway from the crowds. Choose you favourite.
If you are used to reaching out for attractive things, you can't miss the shopping experience in South Tyrol's towns. Above all during Advent, Bruneck fascinates for its unique atmosphere: alleys are decorated with dazzling fairy lights, stores display traditional and modern clothing, restaurants and cafès restaurants and cafes invite you for a cosy stop.
In the Dolomites region Kronplatz, you'll find high-quality foods and handcrafted articles for daily use in Sterzing and environs, as in the rest of South Tyrol. Many producers sell straight from the farm where you can try the treats and find out what the high quality criteria are for lamb and pork in Wippland. Producers in the cooperative have committed to sustainable animal husbandry including lots of free-roaming in the fields and meadows and the use of natural animal feed. During a town or village stroll, you might be lucky enough to observe craftsmen at work and watch over their shoulder as they make jewellery, wooden sculptures or baskets. Hand craftsmanship has a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. This allows us to create products that are only available here.
The smells that drift from the Ladin cuisine recall grandmothers' kitchens. Like the scents of the traditional dish called "Panicia", 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.
