REINHOLD MESSNER: „MMM CORONES – THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OF MY MUSEUM WORK“ 4 | <strong>Kronplatz</strong> Summer | Editorial
| 3D video Corones The <strong>Kronplatz</strong>-Plan de Corones is located between Valdaora-Olang, Brunico-Bruneck, and the Val Badia-Gadertal. And with the opening of the MMM Corones, it has proven itself to be more than just hype for skiers, cyclists, and hikers. The mountain with the greatest panorama in all of South Tyrol-Südtirol, with a view from the Zillertal in the north to the Marmolada in the south and from the Adamello in the west to the Lienz <strong>Dolomites</strong> in the east, has become the acme of mountains and culture. The story culminates in traditional mountaineering. While other destinations may provide a boost, at the <strong>Kronplatz</strong> we go into depth with the mountain experience: with a museum structure. That is the reason for the subterranean museum with the soft forms, designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, at the edge of the plateau, where there is an unobstructed view of the landscape of the <strong>Dolomites</strong>: of the peaks of the Sass Putia-Peitlerkofer and the Odle-Geisler range, where I learned traditional mountain climbing; of the Sasso di Santa Croce-Heiligkreuzkofel and the Marmolada, where I was successful with my most difficult first ascents; of the Central Alps, where in the combined terrain (rock and ice) I would turn into the one who could test the limits of new paths for traditional mountaineering in the Caucasus, the Andes, and the Himalayas. The reflection of the world outside with the content – mountains in image and in philosophy, plus the development and history. With the highly modern cableways at the <strong>Kronplatz</strong>, people are brought to the mountains, and on the summit, I bring the mountains to the people. The mountains of the world, their majesty, and the stories of their conquest. The summit plateau at the <strong>Kronplatz</strong> thus receives a fourth dimension, and in addition to images of a unique landscape and amazing descents – by ski, mountain bike, or paraglider – guests receive the possibility for tranquillity, deceleration, and added depth. And quiet! Skiing used to be a discipline of traditional mountaineering. Today, it is a part of the offering of every winter tourism destination in the mountains that is blessed with sufficient snow, such as the <strong>Kronplatz</strong>. The ski runs on the eastern, southern, and northern slopes with fantastic descents offer a selection that is so vast that it can hardly be found anywhere else. The wavy lines in the MMM Corones, with the possibility to go into depth with traditional mountaineering, do not exist anywhere else in the world. Starting in July <strong>2015</strong>, we will look forward to seeing you at the Corones inside the mountain – the crown of my museum work. download rotbox app scan picture get more information Reinhold Messner Extreme mountain climber Editorial | <strong>Kronplatz</strong> Summer | 3
