With its diversified and well prepared slopes, Plan de Corones (as part of the bigger Dolomiti Superski) offers adventures on the slopes for all abilities, levels, and expectations, including the 6.5-km-long downhill run down to Valdaora – a true challenge for real skiing enthusiasts (1,170 meters difference in height). All together, there are five spectacular downhill runs into the valley basin (to Valdaora, Riscone/Reischach, San Vigilio/St. Vigil, and Casola/Gassl), and they are open till mid-March.

The Plan de Corones adventure mountain also boasts the largest snow park for snowboarders and freeriders in South Tyrol, with many different kickers and rails.
