The Vigilius - The Eco Luxury of Simplicity

 

by Marianne Nouwens

Finally arrived. The aromatic fragrance of the larches pervades the pleasant fresh mountain air. Look out into the tranquility. At 1500 meters altitude, everything is different. The Vigilius Mountain Resort lives patterned into nature. Feel that you are in good hands. The warmth and immediacy of the materials, wood, clay, and linen, is reflected in the natural cordiality of the people who are here for you.

The five star eco design Hotel Vigilius Mountain Resort is elegantly embedded in the surrounding landscape of the car-free Vigiljoch in South Tyrol. Accessible by cable car within a few minutes from the village of Lana in the Isarco valley, the hotel features a marvelous view of the distant Dolomites and the surrounding mountain scenery.

Beautiful by Nature. Resembling a fallen tree, the Vigilius Mountain Resort nestles quietly into the surrounding landscape with its larch woods; and provides a view of the unique mountain scenery of the Dolomites - unobtrusive architecture, wherein comfort and design blend naturally with each other.

“Eco, not ego”, dedicated to nature - according to the motto of architect Matteo Thun. On the exterior as well as in the interior, the design is characterized through the use of materials from renewable resources. The highly efficient insulation, the wood chip heating system, as well as the economical use of the precious Vigiljoch spring water, further expand upon the ecologic concept.

The vigilius mountain resort has already been elected as the “best design hotel” for the second time by the renowned German travel magazine, Geo Saison.

The Rooms are like Returning Home to Oneself . The quiet happiness of contentment, very intimate. Cosines pervades the room; the warm colours as well as the materials, wood, clay, and linen, convey the genial impression of being surrounded by reliable, recurring elements.
Extensive window glazing open the views to nature outside - and brings the heavens a touch closer. A room turns into a hideaway, almost like a tree house. Which other place on earth do you want to be with your loved one?

 

The Energy from Within.The mountain arouses the senses to new life. Take a deep breath and feel the irrepressible desire for motion. At the Vigilius, nature is the gym. Regain fresh energy through mountain biking, Nordic walking or hiking with a Vigilius personal guide - in winter, he will accompany you on snowshoe hiking tours and exciting toboggan rides.

The Vigilius awaits you!
