Plan de Corones Skiing Area

The Plan de Corones (Kronplatz), the iconic peak overlooking Brunico, attracts visitors with its nearly treeless slopes and 121 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes. The ski area is accessible via 31 modern lifts from Riscone, Valdaora, Perca, and San Vigilio di Marebbe.

The Plan de Corones is also connected to other two skiing areas: This is made possible by public transport. The Piculin ski bus runs between San Vigilio at the Plan de Corones, and Sompunt in the Alta Badia Ski Resort, the starting point of the Sellaronda. Meanwhile, the Ski Val Pusteria Express takes you every 30 minutes from the Ried valley station at the Plan de Corones to the railway station in Versciaco, giving you access to the Monte Elmo in the 3 Zinnen Dolomites Ski Resort.

Once you reach the 2,275-metre summit, a magnificent view unfolds, encompassing the Zillertal Alps to the north and the Dolomites to the south. In addition to the numerous ski slopes, cultural highlights such as the LUMEN Museum of Mountain Photography and the MMM Corones, part of Reinhold Messner's museum project, invite you to visit. You'll also find the new Plan de Corones Snow Park nestled between the Belvedere and Plateau slopes at an altitude of 2,230 metres.

The Plan de Corones Skiing Area is one of the few ski resorts in the Alps with six black pistes, five of which belong to the Black Five Challenge: Sylvester, Herrnegg, Pre da Peres, Erta, and the already "Best Black Run" awarded Piculin. The sixth black run, Sorega, is a variant of the Erta. The valley runs down to the villages offer a particularly enjoyable experience. Two toboggan runs complete the offering. The Plan de Corones is part of the Dolomiti Superski network.
