OUR SUMMARY
One of the premier ski centers of the Superski Dolomiti. An astonishing lift system, big ski area and a short journey from Calais.


When we researched the area we couldn't believe the quality of the skiing, the power of the lift system, and the fact that we hadn't heard of it before! Kronplatz is one of the premier ski centres of the Superski Dolomiti. It has a quite astonishing lift system, with modern gondolas, speedy chairs and snowmaking on an heroic scale. This area "the White Valley" is cold and the snow stays for a long time.
The skiing is absolutely brilliant. An enormous variety of runs cater abundantly for every standard, with stunning views thrown in. Krönplatz is particularly famous for its long runs; real thigh-burners when taken at speed, but most of them are wide so there's plenty of room to stop and take a breather. They are fantastic for practising because there's no crowds and you don't waste any time on lifts.
As in many Italian resorts, equal priority is given to lunch. There is a plethora of pleasant mountain "rifugios" from which you can enjoy the unforgettable Dolomite panorama.
There are 5 entry points with parking so it's ideal by coach, and located just over the Brenner Pass, it's the closest Italian resort to Calais, (13hrs). Our hotels are comfortable and friendly, with good food and plenty of space.


The area has plenty of history and character. Brunico has ancient walls, a castle, old quarter and good shops. The surrounding villages are fairly quiet but have a few bars. There's plenty available within easy reach.
• Tobogganing • swimming pool complex with water treatments • sauna • indoor horse riding • horse-drawn sleighs • folk evenings • open-air museum • Ehrenburg castle • ice skating (indoor and outdoor) • ice hockey • ice skittles • bowling • firing range • indoor tennis • cinema • theatre • concerts • cosy cafés • nightclubs • excursions to historic Brunico and ritzy Cortina d'Ampezzo • excellent shopping • games room o billiards • biggest sports complex in Trentino • torchlit descents • doctor • chemist • hospital
