In nature is with nature. The Philosophy of the #Zillergrund Rock and the Story of the Ziller Elf

Once upon a time, in a land where humans treated nature with great disrespect, the townspeople cut down trees, dug into mountains, polluted the rivers, and destroyed all the forests. The animals that lived there had no choice but to flee. Some birds took shelter in a cave where they discovered a magical elf.

The elf was delighted to give shelter to all the birds in her hair. However, when smog from the valley drifted in, the elf began to lose her powers. Determined to save their new friend, the birds decided to fly with her far away from the valley to a place called Zillergrund.

Zillergrund was a magical land where the air was fresh, the Ziller River was clear, and there was a breathtaking view of the Brandberger Kolm, and in this place the elf was healed. The people of Zillergrund were loving, helpful, and wise, only taking from nature what they needed. One of these kind locals was named Stanis Pfister, who grew very close to the elf and decided to build her a home.

This home became a sanctuary for friends of nature and people in need of relaxation. The elf, grateful to Stanis, promised that every guest would feel an unparalleled sense of happiness and contentment as soon as they entered the home. The view of the mountains would help relieve the sorrows of aging, and the gentle ripple of the Ziller River would be music to their ears.

And so, the elf and Stanis Pfister together created a haven where nature and humanity lived in perfect harmony, and where happiness and peace were always within reach.

What began small has grown bigger over decades, the rural inn grew into the Mountain Aktiv Relax Hotel – a resort for nature-conscious people, sporty people, the gourmets, and the families with a sense for authenticity and all that only in five generations. A drive for innovation, a strong connection to nature and a down-to-earth attitude are what describes us best. Finally, our idea of the new ZillergrundRock- Luxury Mountain Resort became a reality. Then and now we dedicate ourselves to the promise of the Ziller-elf. It is our vision that every guest will be overwhelmed with happiness and will feel complete satisfaction upon arrival. Every day sorrows shall be okay, the ripple from the Ziller shall be calming, the grotesque nature shall impress – the magic of the Ziller-elf shall be found in every nook and cranny of the resort. Uniqueness, new level of vacation quality, more space and a unique proposition – vacation-magic at its peak.

Our goal is to make you feel nature even through our architectural design. Sustainable and economical at the same time. That’s how our unique and at the same time unusual architecture of the Luxury Mountain Resort got its inspiration from: the most beautiful bridge of the world, always know as the famous Zillertal-bridge as the Schlegeisspeicher. This bridge inspired us to build bridges in a metaphorical sense: we build bridges to our guests. But you can dare yourself to cross the ZillergrundRock – the Bridge and feel the closeness to the mountains, rays of sunshine on your skin, the wind in your hair and the ripple of the Ziller in your ears… Nothing but Nature. A living symsiosis between nature and architecture. Nature as the protagonist and lodge of a unique architectural spectacle. Through all this you will feel the magic of the Ziller-elf.
