Gassl Trail
Signature Trail in Olang - Kronplatz, South Tyrol
Where Mountain meets Architecture. Changing perspectives in the Olang – Kronplatz region is as simple as taking the OLANG 1 + 2 cable car to the summit of Kronplatz. After an impressive detour into alpine architecture at 2,275 meters, you can descend via the flowy single trail down to Gassl. Perfect for first freeride attempts, enjoying high-altitude art, and experiencing unbridled curve fun.
Signature Trail in Olang - Kronplatz, South Tyrol
As the longest and most beginner-friendly trail on the Kronplatz, it connects the mountain with Olang in the valley.
The newest trail on the Kronplatz and also the easiest. The Gassl Trail – which was opened in summer 2015 – meanders on the eastern slope of the mountain from the middle station of the OLANG 1 + 2 lift along numerous bends and down to Gassl. Easy jumps, gentle bends and the varied layout don’t detract from the fantastic panorama and are ideal for the first freeride taster tours.
WORTH KNOWING
The name Kronplatz is borrowed from the Ladin toponym “Plan de Corones.” In the Fanes saga, Kronplatz is the place where Dolasilla, the invincible princess of the Fanes realm, was crowned.
INSIDER TIP
Ash and cherry, mountain maple, and the fragrant Swiss pine, which thrives in the higher elevations of the Ahrntal, form the basis for traditional South Tyrolean wood carving, which is particularly widespread in the Dolomite region. So, those strolling through Olang are unlikely to miss the charming wood carvings by Konrad and Rosa Bachmann.
