A snowy paradise at the foot of the Dolomites
What can you do in San Vigilio di Marebbe if you are not skiing? A wide range of activities for your winter holiday at Kronplatz
Immerse yourself in fairytale scenery, in a unique and ethereal atmosphere. Sparkling air, snow-white crystalline blankets and a hushed landscape contribute to making the winter landscape of San Vigilio di Marebbe special. Although a winter holiday in San Vigilio means skiing to many people, the Ladin village at the foot of the Kronplatz offers many other fun activities to suit everyone.
Snowshoe hikes
San Vigilio is a paradise for snowshoeing. The high plateaus of Senes and Fanes, the valley leading to Pederü and nights of full moon are the perfect setting for this winter activity. There are also many guided hikes organised during the winter.
Cross-country skiing
A paradise for cross-country skiers lies just outside the Fanes-Senes-Braies park. 5 circuits for a total of 23 km of trails that wind their way through the magical landscape of the Tamersc Valley to the Pederü mountain lodge, among forests and clearings.
MMM Corones
Reaching the 2,275 m mark of the Kronplatz is also recommended for those who do not ski, because of the spectacular 360-degree view, but also for the Museum dedicated to the mountains and traditional mountaineering. Designed by Zaha Hadid, this unusual and innovative facility is the latest addition to the Messner Mountain Museums.
Winter walks
The village of San Vigilio unveils its romantic side as you walk along the beaten tracks. The whitewashed roofs of traditional houses, trees decked out in snow, the crackling of snow underfoot. Take advantage of one of the many winter hiking trails that start at the hotel, and soak up the winter charm.
Tobogganing days
Sledding days San Vigilio has a lit track that starts upstream from the Cianross gondola and two exciting descents from the mountain shelters of Fodara Vedla and Fanes, which can be reached on foot or by snowcat from the shelters.
Ice skating fun
Ice skating is one of the most fun activities that a winter holiday in the mountains has to offer, and the centre of San Vigilio di Marebbe offers a small rink with skate rental service.
