Skyscraper
With the gigant swing at the peak of the Kronplatz, you are pulled up 15 meters with a cable winch, an d then you have to release yourself so that then you can swing through the air while hanging from steel cables. Not for the weak of heart!
Herrnsteig – Downhill Trail
The Herrnsteig freeride trail (8km, 1300 m elevation change) starts right from the peak of the Kronplatz. The opening dates are the same as the summer dates of operation of the Kronplatz cable car in Reischach. Downhill Bikes and the necessary equipment can be rented right at the valley terminal. For beginners, downhill get-acquainted courses are also offered. As well as a Downhill school with cool instructors.
Concordia 2000 – Peace Bell
Enthroned on the 11m wide viewing platform at the peak of the Kronplatz is the 3,11 m tall bell, the largest in the Alps. The Latin inscription on the concordia 200 reads “Donet deus populis pacem”, meaning “God grant peace to the people”. The ringing of the bell may be hard every day at noon. The bell is also rung if a death sentence is ommuted in another country, as well as upon the end of a war.
MMM Corones – South Tyrol’s highest Museum
The Kronplatz is home to the sixth Messner Mountain Museum. The mountain forms the point of intersection of the three cultures in South Tyrol: the German, the Italian, and the Ladin. This unique location of the Kronplatz made it decisive for Reinhold Messner to build his last museum here. It will be dedicated to the subject of “CLIFFS” and to the life of mountain climbers, which will be illustrated by objects from his collections. The architectual implementation of the ideas was entrusted to the studio of the world-renowned architect Haha Hadid, who is regarded as the most taltented and innovative architect of our time. In order to intrude as little as possible upon th landscape and to avoid a additonal obstruction of the peak, a large part of the museum will be located below ground. The grand opening of the museum is planned for September 2014.
