Kronplatz Ski Holidays Italy
"I first visited Kronplatz many years ago and it really captured my imagination. The ski area is shaped like a panettone, making it easy to navigate, and there’s a superb range of mountain restaurants to choose from. "
Kronplatz Ski Holidays
A jewel of the Italian Dolomites, Kronplatz (or Plan de Corones as it’s also known) is a fantastic ski area with over 120km of groomed pistes catering for skiers of all abilities.
Enjoy the Slopes
With the local area offering over 120m of fabulous slopes and an incredible choice of mountain restaurants, there’s plenty to keep skiers of all abilities happy. With the mountain affectionately known as the ‘panettone of skiing’ because of its distinct shape, beginners will love the gentle blues at the top of the mountain. More advanced skiers will delight in the Black 5 Challenge which invites you to ski the resort’s 5 black runs in one day.
With a bus connection now linking Kronplatz to neighbouring Alta Badia, adventurous skiers can even attempt the world-famous Sella Ronda circuit. Simply ski your way over to the bottom of the Piculin gondola and pick up the bus which runs every 20 minutes. If you don’t want to attempt the full Sella Ronda circuit, there’s plenty of super skiing to explore in Alta Badia as well.
Enjoy the Resort
There are a few different access points to the ski area but we’ve selected accommodation in two of the main hubs. San Vigilio di Marebbe, is a charming and pretty Alpine village where you’ll find a handful of shops, restaurants and bars. Riscone is a small village with good access to the ski area and a couple of restaurants. It’s also just a short taxi or bus ride to the larger town of Brunico with its historic centre, impressive castle and excellent choice of shops, bars and restaurants. Whichever base you choose, this area is renowned for the quality of its hospitality and gastronomy.

Activities in Kronplatz
Culture lovers will delight in the museum offering in Kronplatz. The Messner Mountain Museum Corones at 2275m is well worth a visit. It’s an architectural triumph and is dedicated to the lives of mountaineers and climbers. There’s also a second on-mountain museum, Lumen, which documents the history of mountain photography. For a more adrenaline-filled activity, why not give sledging a go? There are dedicated sledging runs in both Riscone and San Vigilio which are fun for all the family. For something really special, why not book a helicopter sightseeing excursion to have the best views dramatic Dolomites?
