ALPSPIX VIEWING PLATFORM BY DIETER WALLMANN


Dieter Wallmann

 

At the base of Alpspitze peak, visitors will find the AlpspiX Viewing Platform hovering 13 meters (42 feet) over an empty void in the shape of an ‘X’ with two protruding platforms.

 

The exceptional architecture opens unmatched views towards Zugspitze peak and the Höllental gorge and let visitors experience a spectacular alpine high.

The Summit Adventure Trail and the Pleasure Adventure Trail also promises excitement along with curious and interesting “peak experiences”.

 

 

Weighing in at a mighty 30 tonnes each, the platforms have been constructed in a grid-like form so that snow can fall through them in the winter, permitting year-round tourism to the scenic hotspot.

At regular intervals along the trail visitors can find information points, educating them on the alpine flora, fauna and geology of the beautiful area.
