Stegona (Stegen)

  • quiet stays
  • families
  • residential feel

Wikipedia lists Stegona (Stegen) as one of Bruneck's frazioni, or administrative subdivisions. It is a short way west of the old town, so it suits visitors who want a quieter residential base within the municipality.

Riscone (Reischach)

  • skiers
  • Kronplatz access
  • summer walks

Riscone (Reischach) lies south-east of the old town. Kronplatz.com says there is lift access to the Kronplatz ski area from both the city centre and Reischach, so skiers and walkers should check which lift station is closest to a given apartment before booking.

Getting around Brunico

Wikipedia puts Bruneck about 70 kilometres from Bolzano and about 35 kilometres east of Brixen. Wikivoyage says the town is on the Pustertal line, with hourly trains in both directions, and that SAD (Società Automobilistica Dolomiti) runs bus services to the region.

The Kronplatz Dolomites Region describes Brunico-Bruneck as the central hub among its main settlements, and the town's own tourism site describes it as lying at the foot of Kronplatz. Within the old town the Graben promenade and surrounding streets are walkable.

Living in Brunico for longer

As the largest town in the Puster Valley, Bruneck offers the shops, supermarkets and services that smaller villages nearby lack. Kronplatz.com puts its population at approximately 17,000, large enough for everyday needs. A kitchen allows you to cook with what you shop for locally.

Wikipedia's Messner Mountain Museum article says MMM Corones, designed by Zaha Hadid, stands on the top of Kronplatz at 2,275 metres, which gives a rainy-day option beyond skiing.

When to visit Brunico

Wikivoyage says Kronplatz offers ski slopes and hiking trails, and the Bruneck tourism site lists trail hiking, mountain biking, e-biking, paragliding, canyoning and rock climbing in summer. Wikipedia says the mountain has 31 lifts and 60 pistes covering 121 km. The region is therefore a year-round destination.

The nearby Olang tourism site lists Dolomiti Super Premiere in November and December and Golden Summit Weeks in October and November. Check opening dates for lifts before you book.

Wikipedia calls Bruneck the largest city in the Puster Valley, at the confluence of the Ahr and Rienz rivers, about 838 metres above sea level, with roughly 17,000 residents. A castle above the town was first mentioned in 1276. The wider region is covered on our Italy page, and nearby Valdaora and San Candido are neighbouring bases.
