Unique glaciers, snow-covered peaks, crunching paths, crystal-clear air – the highest municipality of Obergurgl is known as the Diamond of the Alps. Its radiance also includes a hotel with the telling name: The Crystal.
Is it the majestic peaks that you could almost touch with your hand? Is it the snow-covered surroundings that radiate such a special calm? Or is it the clear air that provides fresh thoughts? Perhaps it is the ancient glaciers that have been resting in silent majesty for thousands of years and seem to freeze time? What sounds like a winter fairy tale is a romantic reality in Obergurgl. The Crystal VAYA Unique also blends in with the breathtaking landscape at 2,000 metres above sea level.
The two-part house with its wooden façade is covered in snow in winter, just like the mountains that surround it. A glass bridge connects the two parts of the building and its transparency is reminiscent of the unique glaciers. Inside, too, you can feel the connection to the natural surroundings. On the one hand through the predominantly modern alpine chic, on the other through the numerous window fronts that invite you to connect directly with the mountains.
The area is also considered snow-sure. If you step out of the hotel, you can do so in ski boots, as the piste starts right outside the door. The motto is: ski in – ski out. However, you don’t have to leave the mountains behind when you return to The Crystal. During a wellness stay in the 2,000 metre area, you always have them in view.
