HOTELS Ufogel - UFO In The Mountains

Ufogel - UFO In The Mountains

Location:

Debant Austria West Europe
DesignMountain

This hotel is so extraordinarily unique from the outside that it’s hard even to put its design into words. Located in Austria, just over half a mile from the Zettersfeld Ski Area, this funky polyhedral-shaped modernist wooden cabin offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Austrian Alps and an exciting experience to write home about.

The name “Ufogel” is a combination of "U.F.O." and the German "vogel" for bird. What inspired such a name? Well, the owner thought the home looked like a cross between a UFO and a bird!

Measuring just 485 square feet, this compact house is raised off the ground and made entirely out of larch wood. Capable of housing up to five people, this house includes air conditioning, a kitchenette, satellite TV, a private bathroom, and two toilets.

The nearest shop and restaurant is just over a quarter-mile away. Tennis courts and a sauna can be reached within a five-minute walk, and the Lienz Train Station is just over a mile from the property.
