FOR KIDS
Brunico is well suited to families, offering dedicated children's ski instruction and beginner-friendly facilities within the Kronplatz area. Young skiers can learn in controlled environments with qualified instructors, helping them develop confidence and fundamental techniques through enjoyable, age-appropriate activities. As their skills improve, children can progress towards wider pistes and more adventurous descents under suitable supervision. The resort also offers opportunities for family skiing, allowing parents and children of different abilities to enjoy time on the mountain together. Families should confirm lesson age requirements, meeting points and childcare arrangements before travelling, particularly when booking instruction for younger children.
APRES SKI & NIGHTLIFE
Brunico offers a varied après-ski experience, combining lively slope-side venues with the relaxed atmosphere of a traditional South Tyrolean town. At the base of the Kronplatz lifts in Riscone, K1 is a popular choice for visitors seeking music, drinks and a more energetic après-ski setting. Other venues around the ski area provide opportunities to enjoy a drink before heading back to your accommodation.
In Brunico's historic centre, visitors can discover wine bars, cafés and traditional establishments offering a more leisurely evening. The town's atmosphere is generally more suited to socialising over dinner and drinks than to an extensive late-night clubbing scene, although nightlife options are available. Puka Naka is one of the town's nightclub venues, with late opening hours on selected nights.
The resort therefore caters to both those wanting lively après-ski and visitors who prefer relaxed evenings exploring local bars, restaurants and South Tyrolean hospitality.
MOUNTAIN RESTAURANTS
Kronplatz offers a strong selection of mountain restaurants, making it easy to combine skiing with a leisurely lunch and panoramic alpine views. Traditional mountain huts serve South Tyrolean specialities, including dumplings, cured meats and hearty regional dishes, alongside Italian favourites such as pasta.
Graziani Hütte is a popular recommendation for its large sun terrace, appealing mountain setting and selection of traditional food. It is particularly enjoyable on sunny days when visitors can take a longer lunch break. Lorenzi Hütte, positioned near the top of the Lorenzi lift, is another option, offering a terrace and a menu featuring pasta and desserts. Oberegger Alm, located on the valley run towards Olang, provides a cosy atmosphere and regional specialities, making it a suitable stop for a more traditional dining experience.
For visitors seeking a distinctive culinary experience, AlpiNN by Norbert Niederkofler offers a more refined approach to mountain dining at Kronplatz. Its location and culinary focus make it an appealing choice for those looking to complement their skiing with an elevated gastronomic experience.
IN RESORT RESTAURANTS
Brunico's restaurants reflect the region's blend of Italian and South Tyrolean culinary traditions, offering everything from traditional local dishes to contemporary dining. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed meal after skiing, with options ranging from casual eateries to more refined restaurants.
Weißes Lamm is a well-established restaurant in the historic centre, offering a convenient option for those wanting to dine in town. Zum goldenen Löwen, located on Via Centrale, provides another traditional town-centre choice. For visitors seeking a more casual evening, Rienzbräu is a brewpub where guests can combine food and drinks in a relaxed setting.
Those looking for a more contemporary dining experience may consider K.BERNARDI, an enoteca and restaurant offering an alternative to traditional mountain-hut dining. For a special occasion, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler provides a fine-dining option in Brunico, appealing to guests interested in a more gastronomic experience.
