FAQs Frequently Asked Questions
Is Plose suitable for families with children?
Yes. Families with young children particularly enjoy the WoodyWalk, a family-friendly experiential trail featuring numerous play stations. The path winds its way from the Plose gondola’s top station—crossing meadows and woods—all the way to the Rossalm. Other family-friendly attractions include the Plosebob, mountain carts, and various playgrounds and interactive stations.
Can I take a stroller up the Plose?
Yes, you can take strollers on the Plose gondola. For the WoodyWalk and other unpaved trails, we recommend a stroller suitable for rough terrain. Lightweight city strollers are not suitable for surfaces that include unpaved sections.
How long is the WoodyWalk?
The WoodyWalk has a total length of approximately 5.6 kilometers and an elevation gain of about 100 meters. Families should allow three to four hours, including breaks for play and rest; the actual duration depends on how much time children spend at the interactive stations.
Are there trails for beginners at the Brixen Bikepark?
Yes. The Brixen Bikepark features easier trails leading from the top station down to Plancios. These are suitable for less experienced mountain bikers but still require basic riding skills and the ability to brake safely. The black trails—"Sky Line" and "Rock Line"—are significantly more challenging and intended exclusively for expert riders with appropriate protective gear.
Is bicycle transport included in the ticket price?
Yes. With a valid summer ticket, the transport of one bicycle per person is included on the Plose gondola and the Plancios chairlift. Bicycle transport is not permitted on the Pfannspitze gondola.
May I rent a mountain bike?
Yes. You can rent mountain bikes, e-bikes, and freeride or downhill bikes from Rent and Go – Sportservice Erwin Stricker, located at the Plose gondola's valley station and the Infoshop at the mountain station. Protective gear for adults and children is also available on-site.
May I ride a bicycle on the hiking trails?
Bicycles are explicitly prohibited on several hiking trails on the Plose. Please observe the on-site signage and use only authorized bike trails and the designated lines of the Brixen Bikepark.
