在雨滴开始了自己漫长的入海之旅的地方，一个在施纳尔斯谷冰川上的新观景台出现了，你的将心灵随着开阔的视野而焕然一新。在这个特殊的地方，有一些令人敬畏的东西，就在施纳尔斯谷冰川山脊的顶端，就在意大利令人印象深刻的高山景观高高耸立在下面的水库之上，而奥地利就在拐角处，在这个独特的地理位置上，命运决定了一滴冰川水是否会流向地中海或黑海。

Where a raindrop begins its long journey into the sea, new perspectives appear: at the new observation deck on the Schnals Valley Glacier, and your mind is refreshed with the wideopen views. There is something sublime about this special place, right at the top of the Schnals Valley Glacier ridge, where Italy's impressive alpine landscape soars high above the reservoir below, and Austria is around the corner. In this unique geographic location, fate decides whether a drop of glacier water will make its way towards the Mediterranean or the Black Sea.

向着山巅

Grawand酒店位于这个独特的高山交汇处的最顶端，海拔3000多米，，距山顶约50米，咫尺之遥，是欧洲为数不多的位于如此高海拔的酒店之一。白雪覆盖的山峰，拥有令人叹为观止的景观视野，让时间停滞不前。徒步旅行者和滑雪者来到山顶，充分体验大自然的魅力：崎岖、石质、风和日丽，这是纯粹的美感。

ONWARDS TO THE PEAK

The Hotel Grawand lies at the very top of this unique alpine intersection, which at over 3,000 meters above sea level, is one of the few hotels in Europe located at such an altitude. The summit is a stone's throw away at a distance of about 50 meters. The breathtaking landscape view of snow-covered mountain peaks makes time standstill. Hikers and skiers visit the peak to experience nature at its fullest: rugged, stony, with wind and weather – pure.

真正的登山者

为了让计划在此停留更长时间的游客以及一日游的山地游牧民，不仅能体验到通往山地车站的壮丽旅程，还能了解这个高山仙境的迷人历史，noa*设计了独特的建筑结构。基于耐候钢制成的轻型结构开发了一个观景平台，给人一种现代感，同时也与景观融为一体。该设计结合了已有的山顶十字架，平台只在有静止需要的地方接触地面，创造了一个分离的、近乎漂浮的结构，让你与山体融为一体，自由呼吸。

REAL TRAILBLAZERS

In order to enable visitors planning a more extended stay, as well as day-seizing mountain nomads, to experience not only the breathtaking ride to the mountain station, but also to get to know the fascinating history of this alpine wonderland, noa* designed a unique architectural structure. A viewing platform was developed based on a light structure made of Corten steel, giving a modern touch that also blends in with the landscape. The design incorporates the preexisting summit cross, and the platform only touches the ground where there is a static necessity - creating a detached, almost floating construction which lets you become one with the mountains and breathe in the freedom.

新的视角

平台顺应自然地形，在细长的横梁上放置了一个网格，横梁被竖直的耐候钢片所包裹。高高的护栏，垂直的元素在它们的序列中追踪这些平缓的曲线，这创造了一种神奇的效果：随着观者的移动，视野的开阔和关闭，邀请你一次又一次地发现新的视角。这种独特的动态创造了一种完全沉浸式的感性体验，在这种体验中，时间静止了片刻，其他所有的纪念品都黯然失色。

NEW PERSPECTIVES

The platform follows the natural topography with a plateau grid placed on top of slender crossbeams, which are enveloped in vertical lamellas of Corten steel. The parapet-high, vertical elements trace these gentle curves in their sequence. This creates a magical effect: an opening and closing of views that follows the movement of the viewer - an invitation to discover new perspectives time and again. This unique dynamic creates a fully immersive, sensual experience in which time stands still for a moment and every other souvenir is eclipsed.

一眼万年

说到时间，项目在起伏的观景平台上开凿了一个几何漏斗，将观众的视线引向永恒的东西，Ötzi的发现地。观景漏斗的角度距离奥地利边境仅有几米，它将参观者带入一个精心打造的冰人之旅。观景漏斗也采用耐候钢设计，就像栏杆上的板条一样，当它向大自然屈服并与周围环境融为一体时，钢材会变成深褐色、灰色和黑色。漏斗端部用玻璃栏杆完成，让你的思绪在令人窒息的悬念中飞翔，仿佛在空中行走。

A SNAPSHOT

Speaking of time, a geometric funnel was cut into the undulating viewing platform to direct viewers eyes towards something timeless - the place where Ötzi was found. Only a few meters from the Austrian border, the angle of the viewing funnel takes the visitor on a carefully crafted, intellectual journey to the Iceman. The viewing funnel was designed with Corten steel, and like the slats on the railing, the steel turns dark brown, grey and black as it yields to the elements and becomes one with its surroundings. The funnel end is completed with a glass railing which gives your thoughts flight in breathtaking suspense – it seems like you are walking on air.
