Getting around Valdaora

Wikipedia places Olang about 60 kilometres north-east of Bolzano, and the Kronplatz holiday region lists Valdaora-Olang as one of its five main settlements, together with Brunico. Kronplatz.com describes Brunico-Bruneck as the central hub, and the Olang tourism site says the village has its own train station (Valdaora-Olang). Wikivoyage says Bruneck is on the Pustertal line from Franzensfeste to Innichen, with hourly trains in both directions.

Kronplatz is reached from Olang by gondola lifts according to the Olang tourism site. Within the municipality, check the distance between your apartment, the lift station and the shops, as the four villages are spread along the valley.

Living in Valdaora for longer

Because the municipality is small, shops and services are a village affair rather than a city offering, and the larger town of Brunico is the place for broader shopping and services. Wikipedia describes Bruneck as the largest city in the Puster Valley. A kitchen is useful for self-catering breakfasts before a day on the mountain.

Wikipedia says 95.64 per cent of Olang's population speak German, 3.89 per cent Italian and 0.47 per cent Ladin, so you will hear German first, and place names appear in both languages.

When to visit Valdaora

Kronplatz.com promotes hiking trails and bike tours across the region. Wikipedia says Kronplatz has 31 lifts and 60 pistes covering 121 km. Check the lift operator's opening dates before you book.
