## Quick Summary

<p>Plan de Corones is the rare resort where you can step off a train platform and directly onto a gondola (the Ski Pustertal Express makes this literal). With 23 gondolas and 100% snowmaking, the two things that ruin family ski days, lift queues and patchy snow, basically don't exist here. Best for ages 3 to 16. The catch? Four separate base villages mean accommodation choice matters. Book in Brunico or Riscone, or expect bus transfers to eat into your ski time. Lift passes run €200 adult, €20 child.</p>
