Ski area Plan de Corones

With the "Plan de Corones“ lift pass, you'll have access to plenty of skiing fun around the Plan de Corones (2,275 m), Southern Tyrol's No. 1 skiing mountain. From December to April, the ski area is considered snow sure, with plenty of snow cannons making sure to keep it that way. The 121 km of piste and 31 modern lifts between 973 and 2,275 m altitude help you to have an unforgettable experience, whether beginner, expert, or somewhere in between.

With the "Piculin" gondola, you can head up from the Pikolein district straight into the ski area. Thanks to this lift connection, Plan de Corones is connected to both the Alta Badia ski area in the south as well as the popular Sellarunde. A shuttle bus runs here as well.

The Miara cabins now have free Wi-Fi and the artificial snow-making facilities were 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 of pistes, you can book the "Dolomiti Superski" upgrade, of which grants you access to 1,200 km of piste and 450 lifts!
