TechnoAlpin recently brought its snow solutions to the spa at Austrian wellness hotel Krallerhof.
Overlooking the Leoganger Steinberg mountain range, the Atmosphere spa – designed by architect Hadi Teherani – fits seamlessly into the mountain landscape. The organically-shaped glass-fronted building has been created with nature central to its design. As such, TechnoAlpin’s Snowroom offers an invigorating snow experience all year round amidst striking natural scenery.
Natural Design
During the initial design phase of the new spa area, Teherani envisioned a space that aligned with the retreat’s principles of sustainability and innovative design. “A spa that integrates seamlessly into the landscape, creating an atmosphere halfway between the water and the mountains,” explains the designer. “A place where guests could withdraw from the outside and allow everything to come to life from the inside.”
The spa comprises an array of facilities, including a blue grotto, Himalayan salt room, herbal sauna, a steam bath, and the TechnoAlpin Snowroom.
Cooling Off with Snow
“Our modern Snowroom, representing an innovative form of cold therapy, fits in perfectly and specifically appeals to guests for whom health and relaxation are of great importance,” explains Philipp Altenberger, Deputy Managing Director, Krallerhof. “We could see huge potential for our wellness business through choosing the Snowroom. Used in combination with heat, it delivers the most innovative kind of Kneipp therapy. The snow room offers a gentle cooling experience, which provides guests with a pleasant chilled feeling without having to endure a shocking wet effect.”
