The Plose is a mountain range in the Lüsner Mountains near Brixen in South Tyrol (Italy). There are several peaks on it: Telegraph ( 2486  m slm ), Pfannspitze ( 2547  m slm ) and Gabler ( 2576  m slm ). The Plose is bordered in the west by the Eisack valley , in the north and east by the Lüsner valley and in the south by the Afer valley .

Due to the gentle peaks, the Plose is suitable for skiing and is accessible via numerous lifts. The Plosebahn leads from St. Andrä located below directly into the ski area. The Trametsch piste, which is the longest run in South Tyrol with a total length of 9 km, is particularly well known. The Plose is also an extensive hiking area with a remarkable panorama. A little south of the Telegraph and west of Pfannspitze and Gabler is the Plose hut .

According to Josef Rampold , the name Plose has nothing to do with blowing wind, but presumably refers to the unforested, bare nakedness of the summit.

The place Palmschoss , located on the south side of the Plose, is historically not insignificant. In the 1960s and 1970s there was a NATO base above the town, from which a small cable car led to the radar station on the Telegraph. There is also the building of a former pulmonary hospital, which was built in 1913, near Palmschoss. Palmschoss was chosen as the location because it was one of the places with the longest duration of sunshine in the then Austro-Hungarian monarchy . The architectural design for it comes from Otto Wagner .

In the middle of the 20th century, a spring was discovered at around 1870  m in the area of ​​Palmschoss and examined for its suitability as mineral water. Since the water analyzes turned out to be favorable, the spring began to be properly grasped in 1953. In June 1957, Plose Quelle AG put a small bottling plant into operation in Palmschoss and bottling the mineral water began. In 1974 a modern bottling plant was established in the industrial zone of Brixen. In 2002 another 3 secondary sources of the Plose were taken in order to increase the production of the mineral water. The family business Plose Quelle AG has been owned by the Fellin family from the very beginning.
