奧地利提洛爾　阿爾卑巴赫塔爾之頂纜車觀景塔

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau ski resort, the ski area invested in a new chairlift, the new Hornbahn 2000, to replace an outdated ski lift and invited Snøhetta to design a viewing tower on top of the service room of the cable car to create a landmark that enhances the mountain experience for visitors. A publicly accessible viewing tower and panorama room at 2030 meters above sea level. Called "Top of Alpbachtal", the design concept for the 13-meter-high timber tower in the Tyrolean Alps references alpine building traditions. The new timber structure, which becomes narrower at the top, is clad in shingles handmade by a local shingle maker.

為慶祝十週年紀念日，Ski Juwel 滑雪場投資了新式 Hornbahn 2000 纜車以取代舊款，並委託 Snøhetta 建築師事務所在其頂部設計一座可供民眾參觀的觀景塔，打造一座壯觀地標性建築，同時升級遊客的登山體驗。這座新的木質建築位於海拔 2,030 公尺高，因此也被稱為「阿爾卑巴赫塔爾之頂」，其頂部輪廓以梯形設計，並以當地製造商手工製作的木瓦覆蓋。

Alpine building traditions and the stunning surroundings inspired Snøhetta's design for this unique structure. "Timber buildings have a great tradition in the Alpbachtal region. It was obvious for us to use these references and create a modern interpretation. Based on traditional construction methods, the structure could be realized as resource-conserving and sustainable as possible", says Patrick Lüth, Partner and Managing Director of Snøhetta Studio Innsbruck. "Just as importantly, we developed the design in dialog with the alpine landscape. " All in all, the new structures of the new Hornbahn 2000 cable car present themselves as an ensemble that consciously reacts to the respective surroundings and landscape.

由於木構建築在阿爾卑巴赫塔爾地區擁有著悠久歷史，建築團隊認為應善用這些當地傳統作為參考，予以現代的設計手法詮釋，並盡可能實現資源節約以達到可持續性效益。除此之外，也要讓此項目能夠與一旁壯觀的阿爾卑斯山景相得益彰，創造與周圍環境的呼應與對話。

Traditional Tyrolean farmhouse parlors inspired the design of this panoramic room on the first floor. The lower part of the two-story room is clad with wooden wall paneling and thus refers to the traditional parlors. Large panorama windows provide light and a far-reaching view of the breathtaking scenery and surrounding mountains. The contemporary Tyrolean parlor offers an informal seating landscape with seating areas and wooden platforms. Everyone can choose their place to rest in the freely accessible gathering place. The space is sheltered from the wind but not heated. Here, everyone can take a break without having to consume anything. At the very top of the viewing platform, you can enjoy the unique 360-degree panoramic view of the alpine landscape in the fresh air.

一樓的休息室及雙層房間採用木質牆壁鑲板，靈感來自當地的傳統農舍，搭配全景玻璃窗不僅增加空間採光，同時能將周圍壯麗的群山景色盡收眼底。會客廳設有座位區和木製平台，讓所有人都可在此自由地進出、避風休息。而若身處於觀景平台的頂端，則可以在高山清新的空氣中欣賞到壯觀的阿爾卑斯山全景。
