Kals am Großglockner Gradonna Mountain Resort
„The châlets in wooden construction and the highquality suites in the hotel tower are reminiscent of an alpine amphitheater, which opens up to the spectacle of the natural scenery“.

KALS AM GROSSGLOCKNER | AUSTRIA
Gradonna****s Mountain Resort Exclusive location and superb architecture
The Gradonna****s Mountain Resort with its 41 chalets and the hotel is located directly on the Kals slope in the Großglockner KalsMatrei ski area. The designer alpine hotel at an elevation of 1,350 metres offers pure natural pleasure inside and outside. The wood shingle facade and the large window fronts allow the landscape to “flow” into the hotel. The materials and colours of nature define the interior down to the smallest detail. Local spruce, stone pine, linen and loden create a pleasant atmosphere. Kals marble and wood sculptures award the resort an exclusive but downtoearth flair.
The 115 rooms, 41 wooden chalets and twelve suites in the hotel tower offer a direct view of the Großglockner and 60 further 3,000metreplus peaks in the Hohe Tauern. The carfree resort with about 3,000 sqm of wellness, bathing and sauna landscape and a kid’s club offers indoor and outdoor pools as well as a solarheated natural swimming pond that covers 700 sqm.
The buildings should not only be preserved, but be showcased in a design that would breathe new life into their walls. The new design compliments their brutality with elegant interventions and transform their austere functionality into a place of calm, comfort and relaxation. A complimentary palette of concrete, steel, timber and engineered glass ensures that new construction elements tread lightly, leaving the existing buildings relatively untouched and retaining their strong presence.
