Mountain Hotel at Vigiljoch
One of the first cable railways in Europe was built here in 1912 on the Vigiljoch near Merano in the Italian Alps. The old hotel, which also dates from that period, has now been replaced by a stylish modern health spa, designed by Matteo Thun, where stressed-out urbanites and jetsetters can find peace and relaxation. Still today, the only way to reach this mountain-top retreat is by cable car or on foot. The only reminder of the old hotel, is the shape and style of construction of the restaurant.
