The 8-person "CroniExpress" gondola is especially designed for beginners, children and families. Here, you can expect a 100 m wide piste with 160 m altitude variation. The Plan de Corones is known for its very family-friendly ski area with numerous offers for children. On the Plan de Corones peak, parents can view their children's progress in the "Croniworld" while simultaneously taking in the breathtaking 360° panoramic view. Another great kids park can also be found at the entrance to San Vigilio di Marebbe.
For experienced Alpinists, the "Black Five" - five black runs - pose an exciting challenge. Belonging to the fantastic five are the "Sylvester," the "Herrnegg," the "Pre da Peres," the "Erta," and the "Piculin." Two floodlight pistes are available for night skiing. Snowboarders can let off steam in the Snowpark on the halfpipe. The Kronplatz ski area is also known for its hosting of diverse sporting events such as the Snowboard World Cup.
During the previous season the Plan de Corones was upgraded: the popular Sonnenlift was replaced, completely renewed and many new features like heated seats and protective covers were added. The Miara cabins now have free Wi-Fi and the artificial snow-making facilities were improved. The 19/20 season also offers a new gondola as a replacement for the old Rara chairlift. The "Skitrans Bronta" is one of the shortest 12-person gondolas in the world and connects the valley station of the "Miara" gondola with the "Pedagá".
In the ski area, at many of the lift pass offices, you'll find free Wi-Fi hotspots. Additionally, with the "Dolomiti Superski" upgraded lift pass, further hotspots are available at the mountain stations and culinary establishments in the various ski areas. The connecting lift pass gives you the choice between 1,200 km of piste and 450 lifts!
