architek[tour] tirol – guide to architecture in tyrol

As part of a renovation process, the lift stations for the Kapauns chairlift and the Wilde Krimml gondola lift, which lead to the Übergangsjoch, were also rebuilt. The guiding principle behind the design was to integrate the technically complex structures into the alpine landscape as sensitively as possible. From the two mountain stations, designed as pavilion-like structures, a steel staircase leads to the viewing platform "Die lange Bank” (The Long Bench), also designed by Snøhetta.
