Holidays in the Dolomites Region Kronplatz

New in summer 2022 in the Bike Park Kronplatz is the "Dragon Trail": the trail, over 2 kilometers long, winds along the hillside from the summit to the middle station of the Olang 1+2 lift. The highlight is definitely crossing the Dragon's Head and the Dragon's Tail, where you have a beautiful panorama of the surrounding Dolomites at the same time.

Families in particular will feel at home on the gentle slopes of the Speikboden ski area in the Tauferer Ahrntal valley, where about half of the wide pistes are classified as easy. The Family fun park offers fun for young and old and the snow park gives freestylers the chance to practice their latest tricks. Long carving turns are best enjoyed next to the Sonnklar lift. The ski area’s cable cars will take you up to 2,400 m above sea level, where you can enjoy the scenery of the surrounding three thousand metre peaks either from the viewing tower or on one of the many marked snowshoe hiking trails. An overnight stay in an igloo is one of the romantic highlights of the snow-secure Speikboden ski area. Family fun is not in short supply thanks to the two toboggan runs. At ten and eight km, they are the longest toboggan runs in South Tyrol.

From the Antholz Valley along the Pustertal cycling route to the Pragser Wildsee lake.

The reminiscence of the Giro d'Italia. Walk in the footsteps of the racing bike stars and Giro legends and cover 769 m of altitude. The (sports) history-laden adventure tour does not yet take you to the Stallersattel, but "only" to the Antholz Lake. That should be enough to warm you up. The ride along the valley cycle path through Olang and the Anthiolz Valley offers a great first overview - but the last climb to the biathlon centre gives you a real Giro feeling. Don't forget your pink jersey!

The easiest trail in the Kronplatz family: Launched in mid-2015, it winds down the eastern face of the mountain from the middle station Olang 1+2 lift over countless bends all the way down to Casola-Gassl. Although it’s chock-full of easy jumps and low-banked curves, its ever-changing route layout won’t distract you from appreciating the stunning panoramic views – a perfect place to whip up an appetite for freeriding!

From San Martino you continue on the main road to Piccolino (1115 m) and from here to Jù/Giogo (1542 m), where the hut „Col dl'Ancona" is situated. Following the path number 8 and then number 13 you get to Rit (2.027 m). The ascent towards Colz on the path number 13 is very steap. You proceed on the tarred road to Tolpëi and then to Ciablun (1572 m). From here you reach Runch and Ciampëi (1516 m) and ascent to Costa on path number 4A (beware of the creek crossings!). On the tarred road you descend to Preroman and then on the main road to San Martino in Badia

With plenty of jumps, bumps and bends in quick succession, this line is an “up-in-the-air” variant along the Furcia trail. If you’re not afraid to let go of the brakes and take off, you’re in for tons of fun on this trail.

The Kronplatz mountain is especially popular with demanding skiers and snowboarders. While the young practice new tricks in the two snow parks, the brave plunge down the notorious 'Silvester' or 'Hernegg' black slopes to Riscone/Reischach, where the après-ski bars fill up in the evenings. In the kids’ parks and ski schools, guests learn to parallel turn on the flatter slopes. Thanks to modern lifts, Bruneck’s local mountain with over 100 km of slopes is accessible from three sides. The 'Piculin' lift even offers access to the 'Sellaronda ski circuit', and the Ski Pustertal Express transports excited skiers to the Three Peaks Dolomites ski resort in Hochpustertal. The Plan de Corones area is an especially spacious, sunny plateau with a 360° panorama of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The Spitzhorn Trail is divided into three sections: the first part, which breaks off from the Gassl Trail, is a sequence of very smooth flowing curves, the middle section features jumps and features in an open area with great visibility to the scenic Wallride.

Cycling route from Neunhäusern to Antholz Mittertal                   

The Herrnsteig trail's little brother too is packed with flow and curves. But while it's nowhere near as wild and bumpy, its 124 bends and turns between the top of Mount Kronplatz and Passo Furcia make it at least equally winding and dizzying. To get back up to the top, simply hop on the Ruis cable car at Passo Furcia. The big challenge on this trail is to master it without pedalling and with as little use of the brakes as possible. It is ideal for medium-advanced and pro bikers who wish to get to most out of an active riding style.
