The ski area around Plan de Corones (2,275 m), ski mountain number 1 in South Tyrol, offers more than just a little fun on the pistes with the lift pass "Plan de Corones". Thanks to the numerous snow-making systems, the ski area is snow-sure from December to April, and 121 km of piste and 31 modern lifts between 973 m and 2,275 m will make sure you will never forget your ski holidays.
The Korer lift with its 8-person gondola is especially suitable for beginners, children and families. Here you can look forward to a piste that 100 m broad and has a difference in altitude of 160 m.
