A rounded summit above Brunico, ringed by lifts in winter and topped by the Messner Mountain Museum Corones.
How to see it
Lifts reach the summit from every side, including gondolas from Brunico, San Vigilio and Valdaora. On top are the Messner Mountain Museum Corones, designed by Zaha Hadid, the LUMEN photography museum and the Concordia peace bell.
Where to stay
Brunico, San Vigilio di Marebbe and Valdaora. Compare the valleys in which Dolomites valley to stay in.
When to go
Year-round: one of the best-organised ski mountains in the Alps in winter, and a viewpoint and museum mountain in summer.
Good to know
Its rounded top makes Kronplatz unusual among Dolomites summits, and gives a panorama from the Zillertal Alps to the Marmolada.
