Sports and Leisure Facility Fließ

Dorf 180a, 6521 Fließ, A
Architecture: AllesWirdGut (2019-2021) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Fliess Open to the public: yes Accessibility: from the village centre towards the west (approx. 15 min walk) The facility was built with the help of the population; about 15,000 hours were spent by association members and volunteers free of charge.

The municipality of Fliess has been trying for several years to counteract the threat of migration. After a multifunctional village centre, the sports and leisure facility is another building block to encourage young people to stay in the village. Based on the topography, the architects placed several horizontally layered levels on, over and against the edge of the hillside: including a clubhouse, a sauna structure by the outdoor pool and a cantilevered deck along the main football field.

Falginjochbahn, Kaunertal Glacier

Gletscherstraße 240, 6524 Kaunertal, A
Architecture: Baumschlager Hutter Partners (2019) Builder-owner: Kaunertaler Gletscherbahnen GmbH Open to the public: During operating hours Accessibility: Right next to the parking lot at the glacier restaurant (base station). In 2020, the station buildings received a Recognition Award of the State of Tyrol for New Building.

For the newly built Falginjochbahn aerial tramway on the Kaunertal Glacier, the architects developed two technoid-looking infrastructure buildings made of concrete, steel and glass that make reference to the technical equipment of cable car technology. Situated at an elevation of 2,750 meters, the base station consists of a large, glazed steel framework on a concrete plinth; the cantilevered top station at an altitude of over 3,000 meters is designed as an antipode.

Sports and Exercise Center, Rum

Sportplatzweg 1, 6063 Rum, A
Architecture: rt Architekten (2018-2019) Builder-owner: Marktgemeinde Rum Open to the public: Partially (outside stairs, restaurant) Accessibility: From the Rossau Pond over the bridge towards the Olympic Village

Situated on a former agricultural property directly on the Innpromenade, the Rum Sports and Exercise Center includes several sports fields and facilities for the local soccer and weight training clubs. The centerpiece is an elongated bridge structure with a restaurant and grandstands on the upper floor, to which a transverse structure connects in the north, where, among other things, a large competition hall can be found.

Fohlenhof Ebbs

Schlossallee 27-29, 6341 Ebbs, A
Architecture: Richard Freisinger (2017-2018) Builder-owner: Haflinger Pferdezuchtverband Tirol Open to the public: daily 9-17 h (chargeable) TIP: Haflinger shows are held regularly in summer.

The Fohlenhof (foal farm) in Ebbs is considered the centre of international Haflinger breeding. Over the years, an extensive stud farm with stables, paddocks, riding hall, large arena and museum has grown up around a castle estate. Two new structures were placed in this heterogeneous conglomeration of buildings, forming a new centre with attractive outdoor spaces and giving the stud farm a contemporary identity.

Tourist Information Center

Burggraben 3, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Manfred Sandner, Betina Hanel (2017-2018) Builder-owner: Tourismusverband Innsbruck und seine Feriendörfer Open to the public: Mo to Sa, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 2020, the project received a Recognition Award of the State of Tyrol for New Building.

For many years now, the Innsbruck Tourist Information Center has been located in a former stable building directly adjacent to the city wall. In the course of the renovation and redesign, the interior was cleared of later fixtures, the historic vaulted ceiling exposed, the original floor level restored and a barrier-free access in the form of a concrete ramp placed in the Renaissance hall. In order to restore the character of a city wall, the large arched windows were closed flush with the façade with perforated ceramic tiles.

Innsbruck Climbing Center

Matthias-Schmid-Straße 12c, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Thomas Schnizer (2015-2017) Builder-owner: IIG Open to the public: Partially (bistro) Tip: Watch the climbers from the Sillpromenade.

After several halls of a former printing shop had already been converted for sporting purposes, it made sense to situate the new climbing center at this location as well. A large bouldering facility was housed in the existing building, and a cube was built on Ing.-Etzel-Straße for the nearly 18-meter-high climbing hall. Together with three freely placed, sculptural climbing walls and the existing building, an exciting ensemble that includes well-usable open spaces evolved.

Dolomitenbad Lienz

Rechter Drauweg 1b, 9900 Lienz, A
Architecture: Machné & Glanzl Architekten (2015-2016) Builder-owner: Stadt Lienz Open to the public: during opening hours The renovation and extension received an honorable mention at the 2018 Tyrolean State Prize for New Building Awards

The Dolomitenbad was built in the 1970s by Manfred Machné as a simple, no-frills sports facility in the spirit of that era. Forty years later, his son Hans Peter Machné renovated and expanded the indoor and outdoor pool, resulting in the emergence of a coherent, new whole. The centerpiece of the extension is the sauna area with a curved wooden lamella ceiling, whose shape makes reference to the surrounding Dolomite Mountains.

Gymnastics Training Center

Kajetan-Sweth-Straße 14, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: LAAC (2014-2015) Builder-owner: IIG Accessibility: Directly on the Innpromenade

The annex of a competition-compatible hall with a grandstand, which emerged from an architectural competition, makes the previously disoriented building appear new as the "missing head for the existing body.” This new construction, the defining design element of which is the supporting structure, consists of a glass base for the hall and a closed cube above it for the grandstand.

Gaislachkogl Lift (Valley, Intermediate and Mountain Stations)

Dorfstraße 115, 6450 Sölden, A
Architecture: obermoser arch-omo (2009-2010) Builder-owner: Ötztaler Gletscherbahn GmbH & CoKG Open to the public: during hours of operation TIP: In the meantime, the middle station has been expanded - again by obermoser + partner - to include an à la carte restaurant and a self-service area.

As part of the reconstruction of both Gaislachkogel lifts it was necessary to rebuild the valley, intermediate and mountain stations. Each station has been designed to fit its location formally with functional requirements developed accordingly. One thing they have in common is the type of construction; a self-supporting steel construction covered by a transparent membrane.

Badehaus Natterer See (Main building and spa lake Natters)

Natterer See 1, 6161 Natters, A
Architecture: Giner + Wucherer (2008) Builder-owner: Familie Giner Open to the public: The all year camping area is open to the public. Accessibility: About 2,5 km from the village of Natters TIP: You can go bathing in the lake; there is, however, an entrance fee.

As part of the newly designed entrance area of the lake Natters camping area, the architects created a long and narrow building for the necessary infrastructure functions that sets up to now unheard of quality standards in the world of tents, caravans and mobile homes. Despite its rather large volume, the two-storey building unpretentiously sits on the lakeshore, sort of becoming part of the landscape. There, you find everything you need for a camping holiday, plus a lot of small highlights and brilliant new ideas.

TOP OF TYROL – Summit Platform

Stubaier Gletscher – Großer Isidor (3.200 m), 6167 Neustift im Stubaital, A
Architecture: LAAC (2008) Builder-owner: Wintersport Tirol approx. 10 minutes from the Schaufeljoch-Lift mountain station
In 2010 the platform was recognised at the BTV (bank for Tyrol and Vorarlberg) Building-Owner-Awards-Tyrol and Vorarlberg.

Situated at an altitude of 3200 metres right in the middle of the Stubaier Glacier, the summit platform "TOP OF TYROL” offers a very impressive view across the Tyrolean Mountains. Based on the existing topography, LAAC architects designed a "symbol in the snow”, which nestles into the flowing movements of the Great Isidor’s rocky ridge and juts out nine metres above the ridge edge.

Austrian Skiing Academy

St. Christoph 10, 6580 St. Christoph, A
Architecture: Geri Blasisker (2006) Builder-owner: Austria Ski Sportanlagen

An extension has been built onto the Skiing Academy formerly known as the Federal Sports Home. The new building has six levels, all part of a ski training centre – from a seminar hall at sub-basement level to a sauna and wellness area on the roof. The independent large form of the crystalline shaped building attempts to meet the requirements of its location without matching the traditional alpine type of design too much.

Pardorama

Pardatschgrat, 6561 Ischgl, A
Architecture: Jäger Architektur (2004-2005) Builder-owner: Silvretta Seilbahn AG Ischgl Open to the public: only open during the winter season Accessibility: from Ischgl with the Pardatschgrat lift (approx. 15 min.)

The panorama restaurant with its congress centre on top of the 2.620 metres high Pardatschgrat in the Ischgl skiing area is distinguished by its simple forms and materials. A particular challenge during the construction of the two buildings was to find a technological solution to compensate for the frost-thaw rising and sinking of the ground below.

Bergisel Ski Jump

Bergisel, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Zaha Hadid Architects (2001-2002) Builder-owner: Austria Ski Veranstaltungs GesmbH Open to the public: daily 10 a.m.–5 p.m, in the summer until 6 p.m.; there is an entrance fee. Accessibility: Tram number 1, and 20 minutes’ walk from the final station – or the Sightseer bus from the city centre TIP: Viewing platform and the "Café im Turm” restaurant on top of the approach tower

The new Bergisel ski jump is a landmark that is visible from most every part of town. The various functional elements, while still perfectly and precisely serving their purpose as mere instruments of sports competition, were moulded into an elegantly sculptural and expressively dynamic construction symbolising the ski jumper’s movement.

BSA Sports Hall - Alpine 2001 Ski-World Championships

St. Christoph 28, 6850 St. Christoph, A
Architecture: LORENZATELIERS (2000-2001) Builder-owner: Austria Ski Sportanlagen

In the centre of St. Christoph, the ÖSV (Austrian Skiing Association) built a sports hall (for the 2001 World Skiing Championships) with a fitness centre, a bar and offices for the association’s staff. A low budget solution based on minimalism was realised within a short time. The "self-confident” building is situated close to the ensemble around the "Hospiz”, which dates as far back as the Middle Ages.

Finish Line Stadium – 2001 Alpine Skiing World Championships

Sonnenwiese, 6850 St. Anton am Arlberg, A
Architecture: Manzl Ritsch Sandner (1999-2000) Builder-owner: Arlberger Bergbahnen AG, Tourismusverband St. Anton, Gemeinde St. Anton

The finish line stadium constructed for the skiing world championships, were constructed by the same architectural-team that built the new St. Anton railway station. The tranquil wood-panel covered building is intertwined with the surrounding terrain in such a way, that the finish line stadium seems to be more of a topographic intervention than a building. With its many seminar rooms and fixed stand for 2000 persons, the finish line stadium is the perfect place for various outdoor events.

Schwimmbad Tivoli (Outdoor Swimming Pool)

Purtschellerstraße 1, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Norbert Heltschl (1961) Builder-owner: Stadt Innsbruck Open to the public: during the opening times between the beginning of May to mid-September (entrance fee). The facility was repeatedly changed over the years; particularly the exposed concrete was partially painted over.

Norbert Heltschl counts among the few architects in Tyrol who were able to keep up with the international development after the Second World War. Erected by him from 1957-61, the Tivoli Outdoor Swimming Pool remains an outstanding example of timeless leisure architecture. From the swimming pool to the stands to the distinctively sculptural diving tower, he consequently utilized smooth exposed concrete. In the sense of a total work of art consisting of architecture, painting and sculpture, water-themed sculptures are spread throughout the whole area and are still used to today as drinking fountains or climbing devices.

Städtisches Hallenbad (Municipal Indoor Pool)

Amraser Straße 3, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Friedrich Konzert (1928) Builder-owner: Stadt Innsbruck Open to the public: during opening hours (entrance fee). In 2014, the roof construction of the indoor swimming pool was completely replaced, the original false ceiling with its numerous stucco elements recreated and the original coloring of the interior reconstructed.

The listed indoor pool was erected in the interwar years according to the plans of the City Building Director Friedrich Konzert, who, among other things, also planned the municipal steam baths in Salurnerstraße. It is characterized, on the one hand, by the functional composition of the structures, which is clearly legible from the outside. On the other hand, many allusions to Secessionism can still be found in the details. The heart of the swimming pool is the two-story hall, which features large windows on three sides and an encircling gallery.
