Winter in the Val Pusteria/Pustertal is a lot more than skiing
While you’re at our ski hotel in the Dolomites, it’s worth finding out what else winter in Val Pusteria/Pustertal has to offer. Put the thick socks on and walk one of the cleared winter paths at the foot of Plan de Corones/Kronplatz. Hire snowshoes from the sports shop in Olang and take a quiet stroll through the snow. Visit the Christmas market in Bruneck, where the scent of mulled wine and cinnamon biscuits drifts through the town’s historic Stadtgasse alley. Antholz, home to the Biathlon World Cup, is a good half-hour away, and the Krampus parades around 5 December are as South Tyrolean as winter gets. How about an ice hockey match at the Intercable Arena in Bruneck? Or ice skating? You see the problem: there’s rather a lot to fit in besides skiing at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz. See you soon!
