Cross-country skiing in the holiday region of the Kronplatz
Fans of this relaxing winter sport have come to the right place in the Antholz valley. Just a 30 minute drive from the Almhotel Lenz in Olang you will find the cross-country Mecca of the Rieserferner-Ahrn National Park in the holiday region of the Kronplatz.
The Antholz valley and its mountain peaks is a sheer paradise for nature lovers and for those in pursuit of relaxation; walkers and climbers are in their element every bit as much as cross-country skiers. And with a vast network of cross-country trails, the Antholz valley is heaven on earth for biathletes and cross-country skiers too: the World Championship Biathlon is held here and attracts ever more thousands of fans to this idyllic valley.
For beginners, expert advice and tips are on hand from the instructors at the Antholz cross-country ski school to ease the inexperienced into their first moves. 



The Antholz valley, a paradise for cross-country fans
Those who find themselves on the trails in the far reaches of the Antholz valley can experience the magic of a “Winter Wonderland” firsthand. Cross-country skiing is the easiest way of discovering the untouched nature and the unique countryside around Lake Antholz. The cross-country trails, freshly prepared every day during winter, run through romantic, snow-blanketed woods and across the frozen lake to the foot of the Staller Saddle, where the breathtaking backdrop of the Antholz mountain range lies almost within hand’s reach. When safety conditions allow, wonderful walks over the lake are also a great opportunity to admire the breathtaking beauty of the Antholz mountains. 



Through the National Park on snowshoes
The holiday region of the Kronplatz is guaranteed to impress with its three National Parks inviting you to take a wander through the wintry countryside. The haunting silence of freshly snowed upon woods. The first imprints on virgin snow. With the first snows of the year the landscape suddenly takes on a whole new quality: meadows clothed in frosty crystals glistening in the winter’s sun and snow-capped trees in flowing white cloaks, an apparition from a fairy tale;  The peaks of the Dolomites illuminating the deep blue winters skies in the background.
Walk through area that would otherwise be unreachable in the winter months and search for the tracks of lynx, stag and eagle. Enjoy the beauty and peace of the Fanes-Sennes-Prags, Puez-Geisler or Rieserferner-Ahrn National Parks far from the winter walking trails. Snow shoes make it all possible. Snow shoe walking is child’s play! Make your track in deep, powdery snow or in the old packed firn and immerse yourself in the fairy tale of the Kronplatz holiday region.
Fancy a shot on a pair of snow shoes? We will be delighted to advise and to respond to your no-obligation holiday questions.
