Messner Mountain Museum CORONES & RIPA

How man conquered the mountain

History of alpinism & mountain peoples from all over the world

Reinhold Messner has chosen spectacular locations and premises for the opening of his two of six museums: a new building designed by Zaha Hadid on the panoramic Plan de Corones/Kronplatz and the historic walls of Brunico/Bruneck Castle. While the exhibition centre at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz focuses on traditional alpinism, which was decisively shaped by Reinhold Messner, the museum in the castle is dedicated to mountain peoples from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. Art objects, replicas of settlements, photographs, films and original everyday objects bring them to life.

How do I get there by public transport?

With the Guest Pass, you can travel free of charge on the 441 bus line from Val Casies/Gsiesertal valley or on the 438 city bus from Tesido/Taisten and Monguelfo/Welsberg to Monguelfo/Welsberg railway station. From there, take the train on the San Candido/Innichen-Fortezza/Franzensfeste line to Perca/Percha station. From the railway station in Perca/Percha, you can take the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz mountain railway to the museum. The ticket for the mountain railway is not included in the Guest Pass. To get to MMM Ripa, take the same train line but continue to Brunico/Bruneck station. After a 20-minute walk you will reach the museum.
