Another great kids park can also be found at the entrance to St. Vigil.
For experienced Alpinists, the "Black Five" - five black runs - pose an exciting challenge. Belonging to the fantastic five are the "Sylvester," the "Herrnegg," the "Pre da Peres," the "Erta," and the "Piculin." Two floodlight pistes are available for night skiing. Snowboarders can let off steam in the Snowpark on the halfpipe. The Kronplatz ski area is also known for its hosting of diverse sporting events such as the Snowboard World Cup.
