Granatkapelle (Garnate Chapel)

Penkenjoch, 6292 Finkenberg, A
Architecture: Mario Botta, Bernhard Stoehr (2013) Builder-owner: Josef Brindlinger Open to the public: during the summer months

With the Granatkapelle (Garnate Chapel), Swiss star architect Mario Botta executed his first structure in Austria in Penkenjoch im Zillertal. As a firm counterpoint to nature, he placed an oversized crystal in the shape of a rhombic dodecahedron on a ledge east of the reservoir. Clad with corten steel plates on the outside and laid with slender larch wood slats on the inside and lit solely through an opening in the roof, the sculptural structure stands out on account of its clear and precise geometry.

Kristallhütte (Crystal Hut) Annex

Zellberg 306, 6280 Zellberg, A
Architecture: Bernhard Stoehr (2013) Builder-owner: Bergbahnen Skizentrum Hochzillertal Open to the public: during the winter or summer season Accessibility: Accessible in the winter from Kaltenbach via the skiing region cable cars; in the summer by car over the Zillertaler Höhenstraße to the water reservoir for artificial snow production, then on foot (approx. 1 hr.)

Standing on a slope side in the middle of the Hochzillertal skiing area, the "Kristallhütte” ("Crystal Hut”) is more of a hotel than a pure ski hut. In order to create further accommodation options besides the existing rooms in the stock building, a three-story annex with maisonette apartments was erected. Utilizing the sloping site, the annex is largely edged into the terrain; only the elevated, fully mirrored wellness area completely emerges above ground.
