00%Hermann Kronbichler – Ski School Director and Founder with Over 40 Years of Experience

Certified Ski Instructor, Coach, Hiking Guide and Mountain Bike Guide – A Life Dedicated to the Mountains
Anyone who truly knows the Dolomites knows Hermann Kronbichler.
For more than 40 years, Hermann has been closely connected to the mountains and tourism in South Tyrol. As a certified ski instructor, coach, hiking guide and mountain bike guide, he has experienced the Dolomites in every season and knows the region like few others.
Today, Hermann is the Ski School Director and Founder of Ski School Bruneck. Together with his sons and two highly motivated ski instructors, he decided to start a new project with the goal of creating a modern ski school that combines the highest quality, personal attention and a genuine passion for winter sports.
Over 40 Years of Experience in the Mountains
Hermann Kronbichler has more than four decades of experience.
Throughout this time, he has witnessed the development of skiing, tourism and ski schools in South Tyrol firsthand. He understands the requirements of high-quality ski instruction as well as the needs of guests, families and ambitious skiers.
His experience goes far beyond traditional ski instruction.
As a certified ski instructor and coach, as well as a hiking guide and mountain bike guide, Hermann knows the mountains not only in winter. He is also regularly out in the Dolomites during the summer months.
This year-round connection to the region has shaped his understanding of the mountains and makes him a particularly versatile expert in mountain sports.
A Ski School Director with a Passion for His Profession
Before founding Ski School Bruneck, Hermann worked for many years as the director of another large ski school.
In this position, he gained extensive experience in managing and organizing a ski school and learned what is truly required to provide professional ski instruction and build a strong team.
At some point, however, he felt the desire to create something new.
Together with his sons and two highly motivated ski instructors, Hermann therefore founded Ski School Bruneck.
The idea was clear: to create a modern ski school that combines experience and tradition with new ideas, personal attention and a motivated team.
Hermann wanted to bring together people with the qualities needed for a modern, high-quality ski school: expertise, motivation, passion, responsibility and a genuine enjoyment of working with people.
Commitment to Tourism and Ski Schools in South Tyrol
For many years, Hermann has been involved not only within his own ski schools.
He has also been active in various tourism association committees and boards and has worked to represent the interests of ski schools in South Tyrol.
As a representative of the South Tyrolean ski schools for the Puster Valley district, he also knows the industry from a broader perspective.
This commitment shows that Hermann sees skiing as more than just a profession. He also wants to actively contribute to the development of tourism and ski schools in his home region.
Hermann Knows the Dolomites Like the Back of His Hand
One of Hermann’s greatest strengths is his exceptional knowledge of the region.
He knows the Dolomites in both winter and summer.
He knows the ski areas, valleys, viewpoints, best routes and many paths away from the classic tourist trails.
And he knows the people.
Through his decades of work in the region, Hermann has built connections with countless people in tourism, mountain sports and skiing. Many people know him – and Hermann, in turn, knows many people and places throughout the Dolomites.
This regional network and experience are particularly valuable when planning individual tours.
Expert in Full-Day Ski Tours Through the Dolomites
Hermann is a true specialist in full-day ski tours.
When it comes to planning a special day of skiing in the Dolomites, he can draw on decades of experience.
He regularly travels throughout the entire Dolomites region and knows the different ski areas and their possibilities extremely well.
The goal is not simply to cover as many kilometres as possible.
A good full-day tour requires careful planning: weather, snow conditions, piste conditions, the ability level of the participants and, of course, the most beautiful routes all need to come together.
Hermann knows which areas are particularly worthwhile at different times and how to make the most of a day on skis.
A day with him becomes a combination of skiing, nature and genuine knowledge of the Dolomites.
An Experienced Ski Instructor for Adults and Children
Hermann also shares his decades of experience through ski instruction.
He teaches both adults and children and brings an enormous wealth of experience to every lesson.
Adults in particular benefit from his calm and structured approach. Hermann can explain complex movements in an understandable way and adapt lessons to each skier’s individual ability and personal goals.
His teaching languages are:
- German
- Italian
Especially for adults who already ski and want to improve their technique, or those who want to regain confidence on skis after a longer break, Hermann is a highly experienced instructor.
Passing Experience on to the Next Generation
As a father and founder of the ski school, it is particularly important to Hermann to pass on his experience.
Working alongside his sons and the young team at Ski School Bruneck combines more than 40 years of experience with the energy and fresh ideas of the next generation.
This combination is an important part of the school’s philosophy.
Tradition and experience provide the foundation, while motivation, modern teaching methods and new ideas take the ski school into the future.
