This hotel atop Mount San Vigilio, which replaced the traditional old building in 2004, is accessible only via cable car. An elongated two-story building that attains a lean dynamic through its curved facades, was erected on a Y-shaped ground plan. This leanness is further reinforced by the advanced wooden-slat design. The rooms behind the terraces are shaded by a wooden structure and glazed from floor to ceiling; they are also decorated and heated according to the tenets of construction biology. The appearance of the elegant restaurant is like the wooden structure of a barn, but with glass facades instead of wooden sheathing. The internal access corridor to the suites obtains bright zenith light through a band of skylights. It leads to the spa area, the swimming pool, which offers spectacular views over the Adige/Etsch Valley, and a sun terrace where you seem to float above the landscape.
The situation where the building stands is key; the building itself is only one ingredient.
