When Goethe passed through Scharnitz during his journey to Italy in 1786, he noted: "At Scharnitz, one enters Tyrol. The border is closed off with a wall that seals the valley and connects to the mountains. It looks impressive. On one side, the rock is fortified, and on the other, it rises vertically."

Well, we are particularly proud of our view of the mountain region: see for yourself! Did you know? Wood as a building material offers a significant opportunity for building sustainably due to its unique environmental, economic, and structural properties. All our balconies, such as the one you are standing on right now, admiring the same view Goethe had, are made of wood.

In Austria, wood grows faster than it is harvested due to sustainable forestry practices and favorable environmental conditions, making it an abundant and environmentally friendly resource for construction and architecture. Wood stores carbon dioxide throughout its life cycle, making it a climate-friendly building material compared to energy-intensive alternatives.
