The construction process of Silvretta spa
Follow every step of the construction works
If you let your gaze wander across the many pools, saunas and bars of Silvretta spa, you might wonder how a construction project of this enormous scale first started out.
A 1,000-square-metre pool area, a 1,500-square-metre sauna area, a heated outdoor panoramic pool, there’s even an ice rink running around the building’s entire circumference ... It’s obvious that a project of this size isn’t completed over night. After all, every construction phase was carried out with diligence, expertise and attention to detail.
Nevertheless, construction works on Ischgl’s Silvretta spa always progressed smoothly. Would you like to take a look behind the scenes of the construction process? Be our guest: Join us for a tour of the construction site and see how Silvretta spa grew to be the impressive building it is today!
