THE DOLOMITES





























































         Kronplatz

         The well-known ski resort of Kronplatz
         in Süd Tirol is named after the 2,275m
         Kronplatz peak at its heart. It offers a perfect
         take-off for both hang glider and paraglider
         pilots, and puts you right at the gate to the
         famous massifs to the south and southeast.
           The take-off is a good one for hangies,
         with a cable car all the way to the top.
         Normal take-offs are to the west and north.

         Southwest is possible, but the bomb-out is
         a bit remote. For landing, hang glider pilots
         usually land in Pfalzen; there are also fields
         west of the cable-car station. It’s worth
         checking as the officially nominated landing
         field changes occasionally
           Whether you are planning a serious FAI
         triangle towards the main chain and back,

         want to get to the tricky and remote Tre
         Cime di Lavaredo in the east, or perhaps
         finally fly over Marmolada on a day with a
         slight northerly flow, you can do it from here.
