OUT AND ABOUT WITH A SKI GUIDE

The Kronplatz holiday region also offers its guests a guided ski experience this winter in collaboration with tourism associations. Our tips for a diverse ski day:

AWAY FROM THE PISTES

Snowshoe hikers and regular hikers can enjoy untouched winter landscapes and peacefulness away from the hustle and bustle of the pistes of the South Tyrol ski regions. Hikers can decides for themselves which way up they want to take. South Tyrol offers numerous winter hiking trails where the climbs offer unique panoramas. A relaxing walk on the prepared paths, or a wintery excursion to the Christmas markets are also absolutely worthwhile.

SNOWSHOE HIKING – SKI TOURS

Astjoch, 2,194 m
Our local mountain also offers a beautiful panorama in the winter with a fantastic 360° view. Climb up to the Astjoch and its new cross at the peak by following a small forest trail.

Terner Jöchl, 2,405 m
The trail passes the Pertinger Alm (toboggan run) and leads further up the ridge. A tour that is particularly popular with the locals. The ridge is part of the Pfunderer Höhenweg.  From up on the ridge, hikers can enjoy beautiful views onto the lower Puster Valley – maybe you can even make out our hotel in the distance.

AVS-path to the Kronplatz
Discover the ski area in a different way: The ideal way to do this is by taking the AVS-path from the Reischach valley station up to the peak. The trail goes right through the forest – only the last part of the way is on a piste. Enjoy the descent by taking either the Sylvester or the Hernegg piste.

LOIPES IN SOUTH TYROL

Enjoying the snowy landscapes of South Tyrol on cross-country skis is pure joy! In total, 1,800 km of loipes are available to cross-country skiers in South Tyrol. Whether it’s in the classic style or skate skiing – you can be sure to find the right loipe for your winter holiday in South Tyrol.
The Loipes of the Kronplatz holiday region, part of the Associated Dolomiti Nordic Ski, comprise more than 300 km of well-prepared pistes. Our recommendations for your cross-country skiing pleasure:

Riscone

Directly in front of Brunico’s front door are the roundtrip trails of the Riscone-Reischach Sportpark. They are carefully groomed every day. The cross country ski trails are provided with man-made snow as necessary and may be used free of charge.

Tauferer Ahrntal

In the midst of majestic surroundings of 3000 m-high mountains, you can find 50 km for your cross-country skiing fun. A special experience for nature lovers. The pistes around Weißenbach, Kasern, and Rein are waiting to be discovered.

Antholzer Tal

Ski around the idyllic Lake Antholz or on the same loipes once used by the biathlon greats and take a break on the legendary Huberalm. This kind of unique combination can only be found in the Cross-Country and Biathlon Centre in Antholz at an altitude of 1600 m.

Gsieser Tal

A real challenge awaits cross-country skiers with a total length of 40 km of loipes, in quaint surroundings with a winter atmosphere and featuring a small ascent towards the end.  At the finish at the end of the valley, skiers are rewarded with beautiful views of the valley and sunshine at an altitude of 1,200 m. The run is known especially for hosting the big Gsieser Valley Peoples Run.

Upper Puster Valley

Cross-country in the lands of the Three Peaks – a must for any passionate cross-country skier. Discover the loipes from Innichen to Sexten, the loipes up on the Plätzwiese, high above the Prags Valley, or those in the Fischlein Valley not far from the Three Peaks. The Nordic Ski Arena in Toblach can be reached from the hotel by train free of charge.  From the train station, it's only about a 5-minute walk to the Arena. Every year the Nordic Arena serves as the venue for several large events such as the Tour de Ski, Puster Valley Cross-Country Skiing, or the Toblach–Cortina Peoples Cross-Country Run.

A FUN TOBOGGAN RIDE

Take a fun toboggan ride in South Tyrol, where the climb on foot is a must – as is entering a local hut for a tasty South Tyrol snack. During their holiday in South Tyrol, nocturnal holidaymakers can enjoy moonlight tobogganing on lit runs or a climb on foot with headlamp. The sunny, natural toboggan runs are particularly popular with families and children.

Pertinger Alm

The Pertinger Alm is located in the sunny village of Terenten. Via a wide forestry road, the trail leads up to a small and quaint working hut. The trail is easy and ideal for beginners, with a distance of about 4.5 km and toboggan rentals available on the alm.

Taistner Alm

The toboggan run high above Taisten near Welsberg has a length of approx. 5 km. Halfway up, we take a break at the “Jägerhütte” (hunting lodge). Upon arriving at our destination, a breath-taking panorama awaits us with a large sun terrace and a playground for the kids.

Oberwielenbacher Talile

This small toboggan run above Percha is ideal for a spontaneous afternoon trip. Just a short journey to Oberwielenbach over another short flat stretch (approx. 3 km). Take a small winter walk in beautiful surroundings, especially recommended for families with small children.

Pfalzen Sport Zone

You can reach the sunny village of Pfalzen in approx. 10 minutes by car. The Sport Zone features a playground and 200 m-long magic carpet for small guests. Once they’ve made it to the “top”, kids have the choice between three great fun options: Fun on the snow tubes, a sleigh ride, or fast skiing. Small children especially absolutely love these options! Rentals available on-site.

Make your holiday base Falkensteiner Lido Ehrenburgerhof, ideally situated on a private lake in the Dolomites. This area of South Tyrol has many outdoor activities to offer families with children, from bike rental to hiking and many ski routes in the Dolomites. Countless tours start off in the vicinity of Falkensteiner Lido Ehrenburgerhof and are easily reachable by car. Educational walks, such as a walk to the Latschenbrennerei or the Roman Stone Circle, can be started right at the hotel – many with prams also available. 
For an easy family hike to the typical Alpine huts, we recommend an excursion to the Pertinger Alm, Astnerberg Alm, or the Moarhof Alm. Experienced hikers will enjoy our local mountain, the Astjoch, with its breath-taking year-round view or the high plateau of the Rodenecker Alm, which is also a lot of fun for the kids.
Hiking in South Tyrol is an experience for all senses. The natural spectacle of the Dolomites, with its Three Peaks, the Fannes-Sennes-Prags nature park, as well as the Rieserferner-Ahrn and Naturpark Puez-Geisler nature parks will give your family hike a unique background.
