About Kronplatz Ski & Music — Band Edition
A music festival on the slopes of Plan de Corones
The Kronplatz Ski & Music Festival — Band Edition is one of the most original events in the South Tyrolean winter calendar: a music festival held entirely at altitude, across the slopes and mountain huts of the Plan de Corones (Kronplatz) ski area. This iconic peak of the Puster Valley, overlooking Brunico/Bruneck in the province of Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige, becomes a snowy stage for bands and street musicians who bring the mountain cabins, sunny terraces, and lift stations to life.
Live music between huts and terraces
The formula is simple and engaging: ski and listen to music. Concerts take place throughout the day, from morning to early afternoon, at various spots across the mountain—from the Corones Hütte to the Gipfelrestaurant Cima, and from the Geiselsbergerhütte to the Niedereggerhütte, as well as the AlpiNN restaurant and the Gassl area. Spectators follow the live performances by skiing or snowboarding from one hut to the next, enjoying a festive atmosphere that blends winter sports with high-quality music.
An international lineup
The Band Edition features genres ranging from pop and rock to indie and folk, with groups arriving from all over Europe and beyond. Alongside international artists, the local South Tyrolean scene is well-represented, showcasing the festival's deep connection to the region. Concerts are free of charge: all you need to attend is a valid skipass for the ski area.
Brunico and the Puster Valley
The festival is based in Brunico, the main hub of the Puster Valley, which is conveniently connected to the cable cars ascending to Plan de Corones from several sides (Riscone, Valdaora, San Vigilio di Marebbe). The event is part of the Skirama Kronplatz calendar and offers a unique way to experience the South Tyrolean mountains, combining skiing in one of the most famous areas of the Dolomites with a widespread musical festival.
