The Kristall, your cross-country skiing hotel in South Tyrol
The morning view from the Kristall: the valley is silent, and – if there’s enough snow – the 10 km long cross-country ski trail stretches like a white ribbon through the fields of Olang. A few minutes later, you’ll be gliding over the shimmering snow, with the Kronplatz in the background. If you want more, our cross-country ski hotel in South Tyrol also connects to the extensive cross-country ski trail network in the Puster Valley, with a whopping 162 km of trails.
Cross-country skiing in South Tyrol’s Gsies Valley
A short drive from our cross-country ski hotel in South Tyrol, the rustic Gsies Valley opens up, with its world of cross-country ski trails. Rolling hills, small hamlets with smoking chimneys, and old barns that quietly tell stories. 40 kilometers of trails wend their way through this pristine valley – sometimes open and sunny, sometimes through shady woodland.
Antholz
Lake Antholz is up high. And peaceful. 1,600 meters above sea level, with 30 kilometers of excellently-groomed cross-country ski trails, surrounded by unforgettable mountains. This is where the world’s elite train, where the Biathlon World Cups take place – and the venue for the 2026 Olympics. Yet there’s still room for anyone who simply wants to ski. Through the woods, across open meadows, across the tranquil, frozen lake.
From the cross-country ski hotel in the Dolomites to the Plätzwiese
Make your way up, take a final turn, and you suddenly find yourself in the heart of a picture-postcard scene. The Plätzwiese meadow is at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. Vast, bright, and high. All around, nothing but sky and rock: Hohe Gaisl, Cristallo, and the Three Peaks – they all greet you. The cross-country ski trail? 6 kilometers of high-altitude fun.
“Treat yourself to a quick lesson in technique before hitting the trails – little tips from the pros make every turn on the slopes safer and more effective.”
