Architecture & Sustainability

Respecting and reconciling the wisdom of nature and the aspirations of the people who come here, the vigilius mountain resort uses architectural means to focus attention on the things that really matter. Conceived as a place of sophisticated simplicity, the design hotel blends into the forests and meadows and blurs the boundaries between architecture and nature through the materials used. Larch wood, large-scale glass elements, natural stone and clay create the desired aesthetic design language – modern and rustic at the same time.

The foundation of vigilius mountain resort is its ecological attitude. This is the first Klimahaus-A certified hotel in Italy and its promise to nature is reflected in every detail – not least the thoughtful, natural materials used. Despite the exposed location, its construction allows for very low heating demand. It was always the intention to heat the hotel with biomass, using wood chips from mountain farmers in the immediate vicinity. This is just one of the many ways we work in harmony with our closest surroundings – for a symbiosis of modern design, comfort, and sustainability.

The only connection with the rest of the world is a cable car. An architecture hotel with a dreamlike silhouette that seems embedded in the ground like a majestic tree trunk… and nothing else. Your stay takes place wholly in nature, the landscape is everywhere and everything. From the outside, the forest seems to be inside, inside you think you are outside. The vigilius mountain resort in South Tyrol is an architecture hotel worth experiencing and understanding. You return home regenerated, almost as if awakened from a beautiful, deep dream.
