Plan de Corones (Kronplatz, Brunico)
Plan de Corones, or Kronplatz, is a rounded summit above Brunico in the Val Pusteria, covered with lifts on every side and crowned by the Messner Mountain Museum Corones. Skiers stay in Brunico or in villages such as Riscone and San Vigilio. A private transfer from Geneva Airport avoids several train changes and brings you straight to your hotel at the foot of the slopes.
Chauffeur's tipAccommodation around Kronplatz is spread over several villages; give us the exact address, as Riscone, Valdaora and San Vigilio each lie on a different side of the mountain.
The route to Brunico and Plan de Corones
From Geneva Airport your chauffeur drives into Italy via the Simplon or the Aosta Valley, continues past Milan and along the A4 towards Verona, then heads north on the Brenner motorway (A22) through the Adige valley and past Bolzano. Leaving the motorway near Bressanone (Brixen), the route turns east into the Val Pusteria, a broad valley that leads to Brunico. The final section is straightforward, without high passes. The journey crosses the Swiss-Italian border, and signs in South Tyrol are bilingual Italian and German.
Arriving at Plan de Corones
Brunico is a historic town with a castle and a pleasant old centre. The ski area rises right behind it: Riscone, just outside town, has a gondola to the summit, while Valdaora and San Vigilio di Marebbe give access from other sides. Your chauffeur drops you at your hotel or apartment in whichever village you are staying, and most addresses can be reached directly by car.
Practical tips
On a journey of almost seven hours, plan a stop for a meal.

Child seats are provided on request. AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight and includes waiting time if it is delayed, and you can reserve your return to Geneva Airport in the same booking.
