The crystalline three-story structure covered in wood shingles confidently settles into the steep slope responding to the demanding topography and successfully avoiding constant problematic terrain changes. The building thus becomes an integral part of the alpine landscape and, with its traditional, gracefully ageing shingle façade, blends in perfectly with the village.
All-over cladding in silver fir characterises the warm atmosphere inside. The surrounding mountains can be seen and experienced at all times through the precisely positioned windows. Guests have nine flats at their disposal – five of which have two bedrooms and two bathrooms – as well as a breakfast kitchen and a wellness area in the basement.
