ADVENTURE EXCURSIONS WINTER HIKES AROUND AMA STAY WITH OUR MOUNTAIN GUIDES FRITZ & KLAUS PROMBERGER Fritz and Klaus, our unbeatable tour guide duo, will take you on impressive snowshoe tours and winter hikes in the Dolomites. Klaus has just completed his hiking guide training and is now looking forward to taking his guests to experience nature first-hand not only as their experienced companion, but also as a hiking guide. Klaus loves the Dolomites and has a unique passion for nature. It’s not surprising given that he grew up here and came face to face with the Dolomites on a daily basis! That has an effect on you without a doubt! Klaus, what is the first thing that comes to mind when you want to give someone tips for winter hikes in the mountains? Preparation is key. And this includes (1) well-fitting, high-quality footwear. When snowshoeing, it is particularly important to adjust your shoes the day before so that they don‘t constantly come undone during the hike. Anyone travelling with snowshoes also needs (2) the right poles with large snow baskets. The poles are necessary for support because we stand with our feet wider apart and also lift our knees up higher with every step through the deep snow. (3) Layer up: At first we feel cold, but as soon as we start moving our whole body - especially our arms - we get warm and start perspiring. At this point, it is important to take off your top layer and put it in your backpack. If you don‘t do this, you will perspire more and put more strain on your body. Everything becomes more strenuous if your body cannot breathe properly, which brings us to the next point. (4) Change of clothes: These should always be in your backpack. You should change your clothes at the very latest when you get to the mountain hut or the highest point - even if it is cold. Nothing beats dry clothes. (5) A thermos flask of tea and a little snack is just the ticket when we‘re feeling low on energy. In terms of potential risks, hiking in winter is no different to ski touring. Avalanches are unpredictable and can occur both nearby and far away, yet still come threateningly close. This is why an (6) avalanche transceiver is an advantage - but only if you know how it works. A shovel and probe are also recommended especially on more challenging tours. ” Winterwandern “Being in the mountains gives me an incredible amount of energy. It‘s like a tonic for the body and soul. It‘s even nicer when I go up a mountain with a group and see how exhilarated they are afterwards. Making this possible for you is a wonderful experience for me. The magic of the Dolomites is simply unmissable.” KLAUS PROMBERGER TOUR GUIDE - Medizin für die Seele. Unser unschlagbares Tourguide-Team Fritz und Klaus nimmt dich im Winter mit auf eindrucksvolle Schneeschuhtouren und Winterwanderungen in den Dolomiten. Klaus hat vor kurzem seine Ausbildung zum Wanderführer abgeschlossen und teilt seine große Leidenschaft für die Natur mit dir auf leichten und mittelschweren Touren durch die verschneite Landschaft. Im AMA Stay kannst du Schneeschuhe, Stöcke und Rucksäcke ausleihen, Thermoskannen und Handschuhe sind im Shop erhältlich. Die meisten Touren führen Klaus und Vater Fritz gemeinsam. Zu zweit haben sie die Gruppe besser im Blick. Außerdem hat jeder unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Kenntnisse einzubringen. Fritz ist einfach bewundernswert unterhaltsam und allwissend. Und Klaus bringt technisches Know-how und den einen oder anderen Exkurs über die Dolomiten mit. Er ist fast jede freie Minute draußen. Auch über Nacht im Zelt. Er kennt die Dolomiten in- und auswendig. Die Lieblings-Schneeschuhwanderung des Vater-Sohn-Gespanns ist mittelschwer und dauert ca. 4 Stunden (hin und zurück): von Welschellen über die Welschellner Alm zum Glittner See. DE What is the difference between snowshoeing and winter hiking? The snowshoes! Snowshoeing is a special type of winter hiking where you also walk through deep snow. When hiking in winter with sturdy, waterproof footwear, you are more likely to walk on prepared paths or tracks already made by others. And who does what in your father-son team? We do most of the tours together. This is also important when it comes to larger groups. With two people you can oversee the group better. In addition, each of us brings different experience and expertise to the table. My father is admirable, not only because he is so entertaining but also because he is a fountain of knowledge. I provide the technical know-how and one or two stories about the Dolomites. I‘m out there almost every free minute I have and sometimes even overnight in a tent. I know the Dolomites inside and out. What equipment can you rent at AMA Stay? At AMA Stay you can rent snowshoes, poles and backpacks. Thermos flasks and gloves are available for purchase in the shop. Equipment can be stored neatly in our ski room lockers.

Da AMA Stay puoi noleggiare racchette da neve, bastoncini e zaino, mentre i guanti e i thermos sono disponibili nel nostro shop.

Fritz ha sempre tante cose da raccontare ed è un pozzo di sapere. Klaus ha un grande know-how tecnico e tante storie sulle Dolomiti da condividere. E in effetti trascorre all’aria aperta quasi ogni minuto libero, persino di notte con la tenda. Conosce le Dolomiti come le sue tasche. Il suo tour preferito con le ciaspole ha difficoltà media e dura circa 4 ore (andata e ritorno): da Rina, passando per la malga Munt da Rina, fino al Lago del Colletto. IT 10
AMAGAZINE WINTER HIGHLIGHTS PLAN DE CORONES IN THE SPOTLIGHT FROM WORLD-CLASS SKI RACES TO CULTURAL TREASURES Over the past decades our beloved Plan de Corones has evolved from a hidden gem into a world-famous ski resort. Known for its diverse and well-prepared slopes, modern ski lifts and breathtaking landscape, it has retained its traditional and rustic South Tyrolean charm despite its international renown. Thanks to its state-of-the-art ski infrastructure and impressive 360- degree panoramic view, it attracts guests from all over the world. The Skirama Plan de Corones consortium, which today unites eleven companies under one roof, has played a significant role in this development. Following the construction of prominent cultural attractions such as the Lumen Museum and the Messner Mountain Museum Corones, this umbrella organisation has made a significant contribution towards further strengthening the overall image of the area. The upcoming 2024 Ski World Championships in January further highlight Plan de Corones’ position as a top-class winter sports destination. THOMAS REITER DIRECTOR SKIRAMA KRONPLATZ I PLAN DE CORONES Thomas Reiter grew up here and has known Plan de Corones since an early age. He has played a significant part in the development of Plan de Corones since January 2021 in his role as director of Skirama Plan de Corones. Can you briefly explain Skirama Plan de Corones’ mission and what role the consortium plays in the development of Plan de Corones? The Skirama Plan de Corones consortium was founded 50 years ago with the aim of standardising the ticketing and pricing of Brunico, Valdoara and San Vigilio cable car companies making it simpler for guests whilst not taking away from their impressive mountain experience. Today, our umbrella organisation is also responsible for the marketing and communication for Plan de Corones. This area has grown significantly in the last 10 years. Our job is to convey the legendary image of Plan de Corones to the world using a common voice. Our main way of achieving this is through the many international sports, music and gourmet events we organise here every year. We are proud to be organising the Audi FIS Ski World Cup for the sixth time on 30th January 2024 and have already received confirmation for 2025 and 2026. It goes without saying that such an event has a notable external impact. Another important pillar of our success story is our link to the world’s largest ski destination, Dolomiti Superski, which combines 12 ski areas in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers endless skiing fun. How do you prepare for a World Cup? Skirama Plan de Corones is very well positioned in terms of marketing. We are able to cover many areas in-house from event marketing to social media as well as graphics & design and video production. Our organisational committee, which I am also a member of, has become very experienced in the World Cup and is always open to new ideas. After every race we carry out a potential analysis. From this we are able to determine how we can improve or where there are still development opportunities to be had. As soon as the FIS announces the race calendar, the organisation can begin! The stage construction is a very complex process and we start this at the beginning of December, followed by the lengthy piste preparation. Naturally, we have to guarantee the athletes the best conditions. What winter highlights do we have to look forward to besides the World Cup? What can you recommend to us? • 2 nd and 3 rd December 2023: Sportler Test Days with the latest winter sports fashion, equipment and accessories • 30 th January 2024: AUDI FIS Ski World Cup - women’s giant slalom on the Erta piste plus great entertainment programme • Mid-January to the end of March 2024: Speck & Wine Emotion, tour with ski instructor including delicious tastings at 3 mountain huts • 18 th to 24 th March 2024: Plan de Corones Ski & Music Festival with hip street musicians, young talents and well-known bands from all over Europe as well as numerous live concerts in mountain huts, ski lifts and on the slopes • 11 th to 13 th April 2024: Italian Snow Volleyball Championship at the summit Im Rampenlicht. Der Kronplatz hat sich im Laufe der Jahrzehnte von einem versteckten Juwel zu einem weltbekannten Skigebiet entwickelt. Das Konsortium Skirama Kronplatz vereint unter anderem die drei Seilbahngesellschaften von Bruneck, Olang und St. Vigil unter einem Dach und trägt maßgeblich zur Entwicklung und zum Image des Skigebietes Kronplatz bei: durch eine moderne Skiinfrastruktur ebenso wie durch die Errichtung markanter kultureller Attraktionen wie dem Museum Lumen und dem Messner Mountain Museum Corones. Der Anschluss an die weltweit größte Skidestination Dolomiti Superski hat ebenso viel Strahlkraft wie der Audi FIS Ski World Cup. Die Vorbereitung auf den Ski-Weltcup beinhaltet detaillierte Planung, komplexe Organisation und perfekte Pistenpräparierung für die Athlet:innen. Neben dem Weltcup erwarten uns Winterhighlights wie die Sportler Test Days, Speck & Wine Emotion, Kronplatz Ski & Music Festival und die Italienmeisterschaft im Snow Volleyball. Thomas Reiter, Direktor des Skirama Kronplatz, unterstreicht die Bedeutung des gemeinsamen Marketings und internationaler Events, um den Kronplatz in die Welt zu tragen. DE Sotto i riflettori. Nel corso dei decenni Plan de Corones si è trasformato da gioiello nascosto a skiarea di fama mondiale. Il consorzio Skirama Plan de Corones unisce sotto lo stesso marchio, tra le altre, le tre società impiantistiche di Brunico, Valdaora e San Vigilio, contribuendo massicciamente allo sviluppo e all’image dell’intera area: con moderne infrastrutture sciistiche ma anche attraverso importanti attrazioni culturali, come il museo fotografico Lumen e il Messner Mountain Museum Corones. Oltre a far parte del Dolomiti Superski, il più grande carosello sciistico del mondo, Plan de Corones vanta un’altra cicca: l’Audi FIS Ski World Cup. Ospitare una gara di Coppa del Mondo di Sci è una sfida complessa che richiede una pianificazione puntigliosa e una preparazione a regola d’arte delle piste su cui si gareggerà. Alla world cup si aggiungono diversi eventi imperdibili: gli Sportler Test Days, Speck & Wine Emotion, il Kronplatz Ski & Music Festival e i campionati italiani di snow volley. Thomas Reiter, direttore di Skirama Plan de Corones, sottolinea l’importanza di un marketing congiunto e di eventi internazionali che portino Plan de Corones all’attenzione del mondo.
