Kronplatz — known locally as Plan de Corones — is one of the most popular ski destinations in the South Tyrol region of northern Italy, with over 100 kilometres of piste and reliable snow conditions throughout the season. Hotel Excelsior is positioned directly at the lift system, removing the need for shuttle transfers or early morning walks in ski boots. The town centre is five minutes on foot, giving guests straightforward access to local restaurants, shops, and après-ski options beyond the hotel itself. The area is well connected by road and rail, with Brunico serving as the nearest major town and Innsbruck Airport accessible within approximately two hours. For guests combining skiing with a broader Dolomites itinerary, the location works well as a central base.

South Tyrol's #1 ski mountain with state-of-the-art lifts and panoramic 360-degree views.
Kronplatz (Plan de Corones) is a striking, panettone-shaped mountain situated in the heart of South Tyrol, Italy. Famed for having one of the most advanced lift networks in Europe—primarily consisting of high-speed, heated gondolas—the resort offers an exceptionally comfortable and efficient mountain experience. At the 2,275-meter summit, visitors are treated to stunning 360-degree views of the Dolomites and the Zillertal Alps, alongside architectural marvels like the Messner Mountain Museum Corones designed by Zaha Hadid. The skiing here is characterized by meticulously groomed, wide-open boulevards that are perfect for carving and cruising. It operates as a focal point of the Dolomiti Superski area, blending Austrian efficiency with Italian flair. The mountain is accessed from several base villages, including the lively town of Brunico (Bruneck) and the charming Ladin village of San Vigilio di Marebbe. Beyond the impeccable pistes, Kronplatz is a culinary hotspot. The resort seamlessly blends traditional hearty Tyrolean alpine fare with sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine. Between its cutting-edge infrastructure, exceptional snowmaking capabilities, and diverse terrain, it is a premier destination for families, intermediates, and aggressive piste-skiers alike.
Kronplatz offers a highly unique layout where wide, sunny blue and red runs dominate the upper mountain and eastern flanks. Conversely, experts are drawn to the northern and western faces to conquer the famous 'Black Five'—a collection of steep, sustained black runs that plunge over 1,000 vertical meters to the valley floor.
A spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site known for its jagged limestone peaks, rich blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, and world-class culinary scene.
Wide, sunny eastern slopes featuring expansive red runs perfectly pitched for carving.
The steep northern face home to the Sylvester and Herrnegg black runs, descending all the way to the valley floor.
Gentle, rolling blue slopes that offer an incredibly safe and scenic environment for learners.
Home to the formidable Erta piste, a steep slope regularly featured on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup circuit.
Located near the Belvedere lift, offering progressive kicker lines, boxes, and rails for all freestyle levels.
