At the foot of the Plan de Corones (2,275 m), in the centre of the picturesque Val Pusteria, are 14 diverse and attractive South Tyrolean villages. Modern gondolas start from various stations and speed up to the peak, from which imposing 360-degree views unfold. Diverse sporting events take place here on a regular basis, e.g. the Val Pusteria ski marathons including the Valle di Casies run, the biggest sporting event in South Tyrol. 105 kilometres of piste, 31 modern lifts, a half-pipe, as well as ample recreational and sporting opportunities and lively après ski ensure a good deal off piste! This ski resort is also great for families, thanks to numerous facilities such as the "Croniworld". Antholz - downhill and cross-country ski enjoyment!
The four districts of Antholz (1,241 m) stretch into the 18 km long Antholz Valley, a narrow side valley of the Val Pusteria. At the end is Lake Antholz, with the majestic Hochgall (3,435 m) rising over it. The glacier belongs to the Riesenferner Group, which connects the valley with Austria through the "Staller Sattel" Pass. Antholz is known, above all, as a cross-country and biathlon paradise: the annual biathlon world cup is held here, and the 2007 biathlon world championships was held on the local tracks.
Antholz also offers quite a bit to offer alpine skiers and boarders. The blue pistes on "Riepenlift" in Mitter Valley are perfectly suited for beginners and young skiers. Not far from Antholz (approx. 15 minutes) is the Plan de Corones ski area, which complements your ski enjoyment with over 100 kilometres of piste and lovely ski lodges. The ski area is easily and comfortably reached with the free ski bus! In addition to the pistes, the two toboggan runs "Staller Sattel" (5 km long) and "Steinzgeralm" (2.5 km long), as well as the ice skating rink, ensure additional winter fun. Various tours through snowy, fairy-tale landscapes and crunching snow await hiking enthusiasts.

South Tyrol's no. 1, the ski area around Plan de Corones (2,275 m), offers more than just fun on the piste with the "Kronplatz" lift pass. Thanks to its 216 snow-making systems, it is snow-sure from December to April, and 105 km of piste and 31 modern lift systems between 935 - 2,275 m ensure unforgettable skiing fun for big and small. The "CroniExpress", with its 8-person gondola, is especially suitable for beginners, children and families. A 100 m wide piste with an altitude difference of 160 m awaits you here. "Croniworld" is found at the peak of Plan de Corones, where parents can watch their children's progress and enjoy a wonderful 360-degree panorama. The steep passages of the "Sylvester" and "Hernnegg" valley runs, though, challenge even experts and experienced skiers! Snowboarders can burn off energy on the half-pipe. No other ski area presents itself as so varied and diverse as Plan de Corones! The area is also famous as the host of various sports events, e.g. the Snowboard World Cup.
For an even larger selection, you can book an upgrade to the "Dolomiti Superski" lift pass and choose from 1,200 kilometres of piste and 455 lift systems! |
