YOUR TRACK DREAM
Cross-country skiing in a snow-covered winter landscape
Plan de Corones is actually mainly known for its endless, perfectly groomed slopes. But it has much more to offer than just skiing. It’s also ideal for those who prefer to move on narrower skis.
Perfectly groomed trails meander along the foot of the local Brunico mountain through the white winter landscape; ideal for beginners and professionals, skaters and classic cross-country skiers. The trails closest to our hotel are located in Riscone, San Lorenzo di Sebato and Santo Stefano.
A few minutes drive away, but particularly rewarding, are those in the valleys of Casies and Anterselva. The latter has made a name for itself as a venue for high profile biathlon competitions. But it is also particularly good for recreational cross-country skiers owing to the unique circuit on the frozen Lake Anterselva.
HIKING IN A WHITE WORLD
On the move with snowshoes
Snowshoe hiking is a nature experience that leaves a lasting impression. Those who have ever undergone the experience of tramping through an idyllic winter wonderland covered deep in snow, will want to fasten up their snowshoes and just go again and again.
Away from the slopes of Plan de Corones, the surrounding snow-covered mountains present breathtaking views to enjoy in the peace and silence. The holiday region of Plan de Corones, the Dolomites and the Valli di Tures e Aurina offer a huge selection of snowshoe and winter hiking tours.
Whether you prefer leisurely family walks in the valley or challenging mountain tours that take you up to the cross on the summit, you will definitely find what you are looking for.
The snowshoe hiking tours often lead to a rustic mountain hut. Here, not only can you warm and fortify yourself, you can sometimes also borrow a sledge for the descent into the valley.
The pristine trails are of particular fascination, leading you through deep snow into magical places in the natural surroundings. It is advisable to consult a local mountain guide for demanding tours. The local tourist offices often offer guided winter and snowshoe hiking tours on Plan de Corones.
MOUNTAINEERING ON SKIS

In the mountains around Brunico and Val Pusteria, a very special nature experience awaits you in the winter season. On a ski tour of Plan de Corones, the valleys of Casies and Anterselva or on the high mountain pastures of Fanes and Sennes, you are close to winter as never before.
Silent and mysterious, yet adventurous and rugged – the snow-covered slopes and summits show their multifaceted side. Well equipped, even for an emergency, head off on your touring skis, climbing ever higher with a constant, smooth rhythm. There is everything from a leisurely ski tour to a high Alpine tour.
You decide according to your skills which level of difficulty to choose. But whichever tour you decide to take: you will always be accompanied by the most spectacular views across the valley and the surrounding mountain peaks of the Dolomites and the main ridge of the Alps.
SLEDGING DOWN INTO THE VALLEY
Tobogganing is great fun for young and old
Plan de Corones is not just about skiing. Tobogganing is also great fun. Perhaps you came without your own toboggan, then just hire one from one of the rental shops and get going. Uphill is either with the cable car in Riscone or on foot. But back down into the valley is with the “Korer” toboggan run.
An unforgettable experience for families with children! If you would like to go on more tobogganing excursions in Val Pusteria, there are numerous other possibilities. Some of the side valleys have longer and shorter toboggan runs that often take you past rustic mountain huts, which make a great place for a break.
