Just got back from Kronplatz and have been really impressed by both the hotel and quality of the ski area .

In brief

The hotel .

Location excellent just 500 metres from the slopes and a comfortable 10 minute walk.

Food . Breakfast good choice of cerial , juice , rolls , meat ,cheese . There was also an egg chef but she wasn't great . Toaster a disaster . It took about 5 goes and about 5 minutes to toast one side of bread ( it wouldn't toast the other side ) . Overall pretty good.

Free salad buffet between 3pm and 5pm . Good standard .

Dinner . Very good . Salad buffet most nights was varied except for the dressings and of a good standard . Mains ,only once had a quibble when we were served trout with pieces of sprouts ! Other than that really enjoyable ! Always varied and sometimes very innovative .

The bar . Good but expensive .

Staff . Really professional and very friendly .Gave the hotel a really nice atmosphere .

Room . Excellent with a balcony and great view of the mountains . Bed comfortable . Bathroom great . My quibble would be that a hotel of this stature should have a bath in all its rooms !! Really missed not having one and a shower isn't an adequate replacement after a day on the slopes . Shame .

Kronplatz . Wow what a hidden gem .NO drag lifts !!! Mainly fast running gondalas ( even for the nursery slope) and the occasional chair lift . Skiing was varied and for blue/red run skiers like us ,simply excellent .We also had private tuition from the ski school with 3 different English speaking ski instructers . They were really good . The mixture of their tuition and the quality of the runs ,meant we really learnt fast . I was a blue run skier when I arrived , and left in a position to tackle the black runs ( didn't this time maybe next year !) . The pistes were immaculately looked after , no slush or ice to be seen ,everyday felt like powder day ! ( didn't snow once , but there were snow cannons everywhere ). Food expensive but over 60 restaurants in the ski area you'll never go hungary .

All in all a fantastic place for a weeks skiing . Only concern is that not many people seem to know about the place and I think only Neilsons currently go there . It would be a major shame if they didn't continue to do so . My advice is go to this hotel and you won't be disappointed !

Just returend from 8 day skiing holiday in Kronplatz where we stayed in hotel Petrus.
Hotel is located around 600 meters from main lift which takes you to the top of Kronplatz.
They offer free shuttle from 8.30 till 10.30 and return from 15.00. We found this service perfect.
The village where hotel is located in small village, good for afternoon walks, but no restaurants, bars or shopping. For that, you need to go to Brunico - nice small city, 5-6 min with the car or 50 min walking (did it once).
Hotel is a family run, you can feel the hospitality on every step. I can not agree with some reviews on this point.
Breakfast and dinner were very good - clever selection of local specialities (spices, cheese, meat), selection of wine is average (we are demanding about that), service in restaurant is also on high level.
Every day we went to sauna (3 different) and one time we tried massage - all services 5/5. We did not try the pool. We were lucky because hotel was not crowded that week, i can imagine SPA can get crowded.
You can use WiFi in the lobby or cable connection in the room, cost is i think 1.5 eur for 15 min.
They also have garage if you come with the car - as we did. Cost is 5 € per day.

Hotel sets a high standard for it's facilities. Sauna(s) are 1st rate. Swimming pool good (odd choice of plastic decor undid what could have been a nice environment). Rooms large, good bathroom, nice balcony (one glass divider was heavily cracked though) with meadow & woodland views of the mountain.
Food was excellent with attentive service.
"free" wi-fi was not free as required registration with Italian authorities and payment of a fee.

Central to slopes, good gentle walk (5-10mins) to gondola stations and bars. Fantastic chair and gondola lifts. Fantastic ski ing on the kronplatz mountain together with accessibility to the wider sella ronda region.

The Hotel is perfect, our room on the third floor overlooked mountain ranges covered in snow in a quiet area, undisturbed views and peace and quiet. The room was clean and well furnished to a 4/5 star standard with small details of chocolates and lavender bags laid out on the bed where the duvet had been shaped into a heart shape. Plenty of wardrobe and dressing table space, tv (no english channels) well equipped bathroom with excellent facilities, power shower and seperate toilet, icing on the cake was the jacuzzi bath on the balcony overlooking mountain range with candles. Food, oh my what a fantastic array of different dishes of both meat and fish, never really understood the menu as mostly in austrian language but never disappointed, al la carte throughout and never disappointed. Large bar area with tables to sit up to, bar prices were expensive as in most european hotels of a good standard.

The spa was fantastic with a small pool, water beds to relax and sleep on after a heavy day ski ing, jacuzzi baths, solarium, saunas, beauty therapy and massage available at extra cost. Never too busy, sometimes a little too nude for the english taste but a fantastic area to relax and enjoy before dinner.

I cannot fault this hotel. Facilities for a ski ing holiday were excellent. Book it and enjoy it!
