Plose con Plosebahn

Plose rises above Bressanone as a mountain landscape of high pastures, lodges and broad Dolomite views. The Plose cable car connects this upland setting with the settled slopes above the Isarco valley.

Why it matters

The mountain forms a landscape counterpart to Bressanone's historic centre. Its modern recreational identity brings hiking, mountain biking and winter sports into an environment also characterised by Alpine pastures and mountain hospitality.

What to notice

Open slopes and meadow terraces create long views towards the Dolomites. Mountain lodges mark different elevations: the Ochsenalm lies at about 2,085 metres, while the Pfannspitzhütte stands at about 2,480 metres. Their settings illustrate the contrast between the valley basin below and the higher mountain terrain.

Context and history

Plose's relationship with Bressanone combines the city's nearby mountain landscape with the development of cable-car recreation. Pastures, trails and lodges remain part of its character alongside the infrastructure of a modern winter-sports area.
