In Olang you open the door and find yourself in the middle of untouched nature! In front of you the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, to the right and left the unique Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park and the Rieserferner Ahrn Nature Park. Here you can let off steam in all directions! And reach the mountain’s summits, because up there the ultimate Dolomites MTB adventure awaits you! Famous names like Fanes, Sella, Geisler and Kronplatz promise great adventures. One of the absolute USP - unique superbiking points - of Olang is the Kronplatz: you’ll be in the midst of untouched nature in no time and directly by the most beautiful MTB spots & and trails of the Trentino-South Tyrol region. Here you are super central in the Pustertal Valley! From here you can discover all the valleys and their diversity in no time.
And to make sure that the ascent to the Kronplatz and the breathtaking alpine pastures on the sunny flank also works out, practical cable cars are available for you and your bike. With Olang 1+2, you can relax and chill while going uphill– and then you can plunge yourself into the downhill fun! You're spoilt for choice: Gassl, the legendary trail Herrnsteig, Furcia or rather Piz de Plaies?
From Olang you can easily reach the summit of the Kronplatz directly by cable car. Thanks to the modern cable cars, you will reach the 2,275 m on the Kronplatz summit in just 11 minutes, and have an unobstructed view of the pale mountain peaks of the Dolomites, the 360° trails, the 17 MTB routes of the Kronplatz Bike Park, the 4 freeride routes, ...
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!
