Ski area Plan de Corones
The ski area around Plan de Corones (2,275 m), South Tyrol's no. 1 ski mountain, offers more than just a little skiing fun with the lift pass "Plan de Corones". Thanks to numerous snow-making systems, the area is snow-secure from December to April. 121 km of piste and 31 modern lift systems between 973 - 2,275 m provide unforgettable ski enjoyment for young and young at heart.
The Korer mountain railway with its 8-seater gondola is particularly suitable for beginners, children and families. Here you will find a 100 m wide piste with a 160 m difference in altitude. The Plan de Corones is known as a very child friendly ski area with many attractions for the little ones, for instance "Croniworld", which can be found at the peak of Plan de Corones, where parents can watch their children's progress and at the same time enjoy a beautiful 360° panorama view. The longest run is the 6 km descent to Valdaora-Gassl, covering an altitude difference of 1,109 m.
The "Sylvester" and "Herrnegg" valley runs, however, challenge even experts and experienced Alpine enthusiasts! Three floodlit pistes are there for you to enjoy some night skiing. Freestylers can burn off steam on the half-pipe. No other ski area is so diverse and varied as Plan de Corones! The area is also known as host to various sports events, e.g. Snowboard World Cup.
In order to guarantee the perfect skiing experience, the ski area is regularly upgraded: The ever-popular sun lift has been replaced, completely modernised and equipped with many new features such as heated seats and protective bonnets. Free Wi-Fi is available in the Miara cabins and the snowmaking systems have been improved. In the 19/20 season, the non-detachable Rara chairlift was replaced by the modern ‘Skitrans Bronta’. Since its construction, it has held the title of the shortest 12-seater gondola lift in the world and connects the valley stations of the ‘Miara’ and ‘Pedagá’ gondolas.
For an even larger selection, you can upgrade to the lift pass "Dolomiti Superski" and choose from 1,200 km of piste and 450 lifts!
