Resort Overview
Plose Brixen offers 43 kilometres of meticulously groomed skiing across the southern Dolomites, with elevations from 1,067 to 2,510 metres overlooking South Tyrol's historic Brixen city.

Modern snowmaking systems cover 90% of all marked runs, ensuring reliable conditions throughout winter. Wide, open slopes above the tree line contrast with beautiful forest descents, creating diverse skiing experiences at different elevations. The resort's panoramic position delivers extraordinary views across the Dolomites, with iconic peaks including the Sella Group and Marmolada visible on clear days.
