Approximately 42 million euros were invested in the construction of the new thermal spa, which blends harmoniously into the facility’s surroundings thanks to a distinctive architecture and construction style. Large glass façades and natural materials characterize the appearance of the complex. The unobstructed view of the Allgäu Alps was deliberately designed as an integral part of the concept. Among the highlights is also the outdoor area with an infinity pool and panoramic saunas. Design details such as a color scheme inspired by alpine lakes, interiors influenced by Allgäu flower meadows, and an Oberstdorf starry sky in the steam bath are intended to create0 a close connection to the region and its elements.

“We define ourselves through exceptional quality, architectural aesthetics, and a well-balanced offering for our guests who are seeking genuine relaxation. Through a consistently implemented concept based on the four elements, we are creating a unique selling point and space for extraordinary experiences,” says Max Feldengut, operations manager of the thermal spa.

The new pool complex is now in a soft opening phase, before full regular operations are scheduled to start in early February. ■
