Plose, by Brixen – the first-class ski and hillwalking resort in South Tyrol

The sunny ski and hillwalking resort Plose is only 6 km away from Residence Hofer.  You can reach the Plose using the free Shuttle Bus service which departs just a few steps away from here.  Nature lovers and hillwalkers  of all ages can be found the whole year round on the Plose, whether it’s to climb the mountains, to ski, to enjoy the snow, take a walk with snowshoes or just to have a rest in one of the extremely cosy ski huts. The three summits of the Plose massif, Gabler, Telegraph and Pfannspitze lie at over 2500m and are particularly challenging for any budding mountaineers.  Skiers can choose from miles and miles of runs. Whoever’s been lucky enough to breathe in the fresh mountain air and to enjoy the breathtaking views towards the Dolomites before – well, they just keep coming back – but if you don’t know our local mountain, the Plose, yet, well, it is about time that you did get to know it!!

On the slopes, …. ready, steady, go: 40 km of ski fun.
