Up here there are only two possibilities: either your heartbeat races with anticipation or your pulse goes into absolute rest & relaxation mode with the dream panorama. This is what a biking holiday in the South Tyrolean mountains feels like. Pleasure bikers and beginners are guaranteed to fall madly in love with the Gassl Trail - the longest and most flowing trail on the Kronplatz.
The first alpine lift of the "Olanger Seilbahnen AG" - a ski lift with a single bar - was built at Kronplatz as early as 1966. With the new, ultra-modern Olang 1+2 cable car, however, the region has opened a completely new chapter in lift facilities: under the slogans "technology - architecture - history", the fastest and most innovative cable car to the Kronplatz was put into service in the winter season of 2020/21. It takes around 11 minutes to go directly from the valley to the summit.
From the valley station at an altitude of 1,164m, "Olang 1" takes around eight and a half minutes to the middle station at 2,069m; "Olang 2" then covers a distance of 1,063m and 206 metres in altitude in a crisp three minutes. This means that MT-bikers and MT-bikes can reach the summit station at 2,275m in no time at all. The bridge between tradition and modernity was breathtakingly realised by the breathtakingly amazing architecture of Dip.-Ing. Cornelius Schlotthauer - former Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects. Architecture meets mountains.
So, get on your MTB, your eMTB or your enduro saddle and head for the mountains!
