Experiencing wood with all the senses
The Forsthofalm showcases nature in all of its rooms. Local raw materials, such as larch and spruce wood, as well as slate, create a natural and healthy environment. This can be experienced with all the senses throughout the Forsthofalm, a hotel constructed with 245 tons of wood.
Inside the wooden hotel, warm, earthy colours, such as brown, green and red tones, harmonise with the natural materials and incorporate the surrounding mountain landscape in the magnificent colour palette.
A highlight of the Forsthofalm is the 220-square metre SPANORAMA, the wellness and spa area on the roof of the hotel with a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding nature. A glass wall with windows that fit flush with the floor is all that separates the guest from the sky and infuses the spa area with light.
This is where Duravit comes into its own: romantic lovebirds can luxuriate in a Sundeck tub on the roof whilst enjoying stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
