Silvretta Therme in Ischgl

published in sb magazine 3/2024 

The ski resort of Ischgl is primarily known for its vast winter sports area and the associated pleas­ures of après-ski. The leisure and wellness facilities in the Paznaun valley have now been joined by the Silvretta Therme. ARGE KRIEGER & Wimreiter was awarded the contract as the general planner in an architectural competition. The outcome is a varied wellness and leisure complex featuring various thermal baths, a sauna and spa area, a fitness area and a multifunctional hall with space for 650 people. The sports facilities also include a spacious ice rink. The thermal spa facility is innovative not only in design terms, but also technically: thanks to the use of modern technology, it can be operated entirely without fossil fuels, thus positioning itself as a highly sustainable building. This “full package” of architecture, technology and public value was also appreciated by the experts: on 24 October 2023, the Silvretta Therme was awarded the international “2023 IOC IPC IAKS Architecture Prize” in the “Pools, SPAs, Wellness Facilities” category.
