Project Address: Schröcken, Österreich
Located at 1,500 meters above sea level, the seven Aadla Walser Chalets in Schröcken, Vorarlberg, are already quite close to the sky and the sun. Here, in the far west of Austria, timber construction reaches an architectural and technical peak
With Holzmarkt Tschabrun, we have a strong distribution partner who takes on much of the consulting work and carries our full product range. Another key partner from Vorarlberg is carpenter Stefan Muxel, with whom we have collaborated on numerous timber construction projects. When it came to building the chalet village in Schröcken, we joined forces once again—not just once, but several times in a row, as this was no small project.
Characterful Chalet Construction
As always, it all comes down to the details—each requiring great attention and time. But once everything is discussed, things have to move quickly: the chalets are meant to have a rustic, authentic character, drawing inspiration from traditional log construction. Both the supporting structure and the interior walls should exude a raw, untreated aura.
We provide Vesuv elements made from local larch, briefly exposed to fire in our workshop, then brushed and oiled, as well as steamed spruce for the interior. Thanks to its versatility, everything comes in different finishes—including squared timber formats.
