Plan de Corones: active holidays all year round with events and culture

The Plan de Corones holiday region comprises five localities: Brunico, Valdaora, San Vigilio, Chienes and Valle Anterselva. In winter, Plan de Corones is the number 1 skiing area in South Tyrol with 120 km of slopes and 31 state-of-the-art lifts. In summer, it is a popular destination for families, hikers, cyclists and culture enthusiasts.

Plan de Corones in winter

When you talk about Plan de Corones, you immediately think about unending downhill, snowboard and sledge runs, many cross-country rings and paths covered with snow where you can hike or walk with snowshoes in the cool morning breeze. And then ski rentals and schools, alpine guides and ski-bus allowing you not to use your car during the holiday.

The Plan de Corones ski resort was awarded the 2023 Test Winner in the category '5-star ski resort' by Skiresort.de, was named one of Snow-Trex's most popular ski resorts in 2023, and finally achieved an excellent third place in the area of customer satisfaction in the Best Ski Resort 2023 winter study.

Thanks to its harsh winters, the Kronplatz area boasts a wide range of ice-skating rinks. For the more sporty, we recommend the Riscone ice rink and the Brunico ice stadium. For those, on the other hand, who would like to try out the biathlon, there is the cross-country skiing and biathlon centre Arena Alto Adige with 60 km of track in Antholz. The biathlon World Cup race is held here every year.

Plan de Corones in summer

Summer too is characterized by vitality and fitness: what else in such a place? Here you can choose among different itineraries, easier or more difficult: paths offering wonderful landscapes, looking for the traces of ancient Romans, to the Issengo lake or to the Rasun biotope, mountaineering, hikes in the height and in the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature park in the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina Nature Park.

For those who enjoy cycling, the Pustertal cycle path with its 105 km will give you unique moments.

For those who climb, there are the climbing gyms in Villa Santa Caterina and San Lorenzo, as well as numerous alpine climbing routes in the Dolomites.

Above Olang/Valdaora is also the Kron Arc Adventure Park, an adventure park for sporting archers and all those who wish to become one.

To relax your muscles, you can use the outdoor swimming pool in Bruneck and Olang, the indoor and outdoor pools of the Cron 4 wellness paradise in Reischach and the swimming lakes in Issing and Gais. Or relax at Lake Antholz.

Events not to be missed at Plan de Corones

A holiday in this area should not be without a detour to the local restaurants where you can sample local products, and a wander around the shops in Brunico in search of some special product. Various events take place throughout the year, from sporting to cultural to culinary and musical events. Examples are Kronpltaz King MTB Marathon, Kronplatz Ski & Music, the traditional Bruneck Christmas market, MMM Corones Week, Lumen Week and AUDI FIS Skiworldcup on the Erta slope.
