Summer holidays in the Dolomites at Kronplatz
Summer among sunshine, alpine meadows and Dolomite peaks
Green meadows and dense forests surround the rugged peaks of the Dolomites, illuminated by the sun’s rays. Here you can experience summer in close contact with nature, exploring the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), one of the largest protected areas in the province of Bolzano. Mountain lakes, plateaus and hiking trails offer plenty of opportunities for trekking, walking and outdoor activities.
To help preserve this unique environment, we invite all guests to respect the local flora and fauna and to follow marked paths, so they can enjoy nature in a sustainable and safe way.
Nature Park Fanes-Sennes-Braies (Unesco World Natural Heritage)
With its diverse flora and fauna and a total area of 25,453 hectares, the Fanes-Sennes-Briaies Nature Park is one of the most beautiful nature parks in the country. In 2009, the park was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Meadows full of alpine roses, clear mountain streams that rise in the rocky terrain and picturesque mountain lakes, such as the well-known Lake Braies and the Lè de Limo, are to be discovered between the peaks of the Dolomites – also called the “pale mountains”. The Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park is a popular destination not only in summer, but also in winter. The refuges are also accessible by snowcat in winter.
Only a few steps (100mt.) away from Camping AL PLAN Dolomites is the visitor centre of the nature park, which offers a variety of activities for young and old.
