The ski area from Olang
From Olang a gondola takes you straight up the Kronplatz, the cone-shaped mountain with 104 kilometres of pistes and 29 lifts between 1112 and 2875 metres. From the summit plateau, wide descents fan out in all directions, including long runs back to Olang itself.
The mountain is famous for its grooming and its modern lift fleet. With the Dolomiti Superski pass you can also make day trips to the surrounding Dolomite areas. For almost every level the Kronplatz is a rewarding mountain: wide, clear and varied.
Snow reliability in Olang
The Kronplatz reaches 2875 metres and recent winters measured up to 139 centimetres of snow. As everywhere in the Dolomites, natural snow falls irregularly, especially in December and March, but near-total snowmaking coverage keeps the pistes in top condition from December to April.
Olang itself sits on the Pustertal valley floor; a white village scene is not guaranteed in the shoulder months. The valley run down to Olang usually stays open long into the season thanks to the snowmaking installations.
The village itself
Olang consists of the hamlets of Niederolang, Mitterolang, Oberolang and Geiselsberg, spread over the valley floor and the foot of the slope. Together they form an easy-going South Tyrolean community with churches, inns, shops and a handful of restaurants.
The atmosphere is calm and family-oriented; après-ski is limited to a drink at the valley station or in the hotel bars. South Tyrol's bilingual culture, half Tyrolean, half Italian, shapes the food and the manners. Bruneck is a short drive away for a town evening.
Who is Olang for
Olang is an excellent base for families and for skiers who want the Kronplatz without detours: the village's own gondola saves time every day. Beginners benefit from the wide pistes, advanced skiers from the long descents and the Dolomiti Superski options.
Cross-country skiers do well here too, with the world-famous Antholz valley right next door. If you want town buzz, choose Bruneck; for mountain-village romance at altitude, look at the Gadertal side. With prices from 763 euros per person, Olang is well priced for direct piste access.
