Kronplatz is one of South Tyrol’s best-known cycling destinations, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a guest at the Alpinhotel Keil, you can reach the lifts and alpine trails of the Kronplatz Bike Park in no time at all. Flowing descents, technical singletrack and panoramic tours offering stunning views of the Dolomites make the region around Olang a versatile playground for mountain bikers.

Around Olang, there is also an extensive network of alpine paths, panoramic routes and leisurely touring options. The gentler foothills of the Dolomites offer ideal conditions for leisure cyclists and e-mountain bikers who want to actively experience the landscape without constantly pushing themselves to their limits.
