Alpine Aperture
Embarking on the inaugural ski trip of the season is a journey I relish every year. My repatriation to the mountains for each new alpine season is an assault on the senses, both physically and mentally. This season I sought a destination that would combine alpine charm with my usual hunt for contemporary sophistication. The Falkensteiner Hotel Kronplatz in South Tyrol’s Puster Valley, nestled at the foot of Kronplatz mountain in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage area, was a very strong choice indeed.
