Almdorf Fachau, situated about 70 km south of Salzburg in Austria’s largest skiing area, has been a top destination both winter and summer since 2008. The self-service chalets were so successful that owner Peter Promegger decided to open a second chalet village: Promi-Alm. For the custom designed bathrooms in the new chalets, sinks and toilets from current Villeroy & Boch bathroom collections were chosen to highlight the cozy atmosphere of the interiors while providing optimal functions and hygiene.
Spectacular glass elevator
The five new chalets are positioned directly next to the piste near the Achter Jet lift station and offer a view of the surrounding mountains and town center of Flachau. They can be reached through an underground garage. The lift is enclosed with wood and black glass and offers a spectacular view of the surrounding alpine landscape. There are small sunny patios with grills between the individual chalets. There’s also a bar for celebrations and events.
Austrian charm, modern comfort
Even though the design and ornamentation is reminiscent of rustic chalets, the interiors of the new chalets are all modern, employing glass and metal elements to link Austrian charm with the modern comfort of a premium luxury apartment. The chalets sleep four to twelve persons. The ground floor has the bedrooms with bathrooms and the sauna, showering and quiet area. The upper floor has an open beam ceiling with the kitchen, dining and living room area.
A feeling of pampering even in the bathrooms
To emphasize a feeling of well-being, the interiors use a combination of natural stone, recycled wood and leather. This resulted in a very comfortable yet sophisticated ambiance that is carried through to the bathrooms. Here, the bath elements from the Villeroy & Boch collections stand out with their clean design and clear shapes: Sinks and rimless toilets from the O.novo and Subway 2.0 collections or the well-designed sinks from the Architectura and My Nature collections. The delicate My Nature surface-mounted sink with its pure and organic appearance sets a design highlight.
Hygienic and economical
The rimless DirectFlush toilets assure immaculate hygiene and are also economical: With their modern flushing technology, which guarantees that the total interior of the bowl is completely flushed without splashing thanks to the spray protection on the upper edge and smart water management, they are also water-savers, using only .8 or 1.2 gallons per flush. The completely glazed, rimless versions also make thorough cleaning very quickly done using only a small amount of cleaner.
