    Resort Overview

    Plose Brixen Lift System

    The Plose lift system comprises 11 modern installations strategically positioned to maximise skiing flow while minimising environmental impact. The network features the high-capacity Plose gondola, efficiently delivering skiers from valley level to the mid-mountain hub at 2,000 metres, complemented by detachable chairlifts with weather protection bubbles serving upper mountain sectors. Recent infrastructure investments have introduced RFID ticketing technology, heated seats on newer lifts, and expanded uphill capacity by 35%, effectively eliminating queues even during peak periods. The system's thoughtful design enables excellent circulation throughout the ski area, with strategic lift placements that facilitate natural progression through increasingly challenging terrain.

    Location & Getting There

    Situated 40 kilometres northeast of Bolzano in South Tyrol, Plose occupies a spectacular position above the historic city of Brixen/Bressanone, combining mountain experiences with exceptional cultural opportunities. The resort operates above several traditional villages including St. Andrä and Afers, which maintain authentic Alpine architecture and strong cultural connections to the region's trilingual heritage, with Italian, German, and Ladin influences. The broader region features remarkable biodiversity within protected natural zones, with winter hiking trails complementing the skiing experience. Plose's strategic location places it within South Tyrol's broader Dolomiti Superski network, with neighbouring areas accessible via unified lift passes.

    Season Info

    The Plose winter season typically runs from early December through mid-April, with optimal conditions from late December through March. The area benefits from its position within the Dolomites, receiving consistent snowfall enhanced by comprehensive snowmaking that ensures reliable coverage throughout winter. Early season operations concentrate around north-facing sectors before expanding across the entire network by Christmas week. February offers peak snow conditions, particularly on the higher elevation sections, while March brings classic spring skiing with reliable morning conditions and increasingly comfortable temperatures. The resort follows the South Tyrolean event calendar, with special activities including January's traditional torchlight descents and February's Carnival celebrations.
