About the Resort
About Brunico
Brunico (Bruneck) seamlessly blends Alpine tradition with Mediterranean flair in Italy's South Tyrol region. As the main hub of the Puster Valley, it offers a historic town center, excellent shopping, and top-tier gastronomy, all lying just minutes from the base of Kronplatz (Plan de Corones). It serves as a sophisticated base camp rather than a quiet ski-in/ski-out village, appealing to those who want a lively town atmosphere alongside world-class skiing.
The Resort
The skiing at Kronplatz is famed for its hyper-modern lift system, consisting almost entirely of high-capacity gondolas. The mountain is a unique dome shape, offering 360-degree descents. Its impeccably groomed slopes cater exceptionally well to intermediates and beginners, while experts can challenge themselves on the infamous 'Black Five' descents that drop into the valley.
Beyond the slopes, Brunico offers deep cultural experiences, including the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa in Brunico Castle and the spectacular Lumen Museum at the summit of Kronplatz. With its seamless train-to-gondola connection at nearby Perca, it perfectly merges public transport efficiency with world-class Dolomite skiing.
On the Mountain
Kronplatz features a unique panettone-like mountain offering 360-degree skiing on impeccably groomed runs. It is renowned for its ultra-modern gondola network and features everything from wide, gentle beginner plateaus at the summit to long, plunging black runs carving through the lower forests.
Dolomiti Superski / South Tyrol
A breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site known for its jagged limestone peaks, rich Ladin and Tyrolean culture, and the world's largest ski network.
