STUDENT NETWORKING ACTIVITIES
Dear attendees,
on this page, you can find our suggestions for activities to do in and around Brixen.
WINTER FUN AT THE PLOSE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX AND SKI RESORT
The Plose mountain complex is only 7 km from the town center. Public transportation busses can bring you to the bottom of the gondola lift, which will carry you up to the top station at the center of the complex on Mount Plose, where you will be greeted by 43 km of slopes and spectacular vistas across the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site! Once arrived at the top station, at 2050 meters above sea level, you may choose different activities: a 4 km or a 9 km sledge (toboggan) run (RudiRun); skiing (beginners and advanced skiers can hit the slopes on a range of gentle and challenging runs, including South Tyrol’s longest valley run); simple winter hikes, with or without snowshoes (many trails branch off from the central Plose mountain station); an on-rail bobsleigh run (Plosebob).
