It’s been 20 years since the Vigilius Mountain Resort was completed, 1,500 metres up Monte San Vigilio in the Alto Adige or South Tyrol region of Italy. Here, the silence, views and, most of all, the air, scented by the trees, offers an unforgettable experience. Constructed from local larch, quartz stone, clay and glass, Vigilius was my first encounter with the responsible architecture of Matteo Thun.
This past weekend I returned again, to celebrate the official 20th anniversary. When arriving, the first thing that hits you is the smell. All that solid wood is still as pungent as ever and my olfactory memory clicked in. The guest rooms are just as delicious now as they were 20 years back - its absence of clutter gives you the ultimate olfactory experience. And you notice just how quiet it is; a genuine silence as outside it's just the mountain.
Vigilius was Thun’s first hotel project, he’s gone on to be a leader in hospitality design, delivering sensitive and responsible projects in many beautiful locations. He designed responsibly before sustainability became the overused and often misused noun it is today.On Saturday, during a talk to visitors invited to mark the anniversary, Mr. Ladurner said that when they opened, there were a lot of naysayers from the region.
The area is also known for fantastic food and wine, a healthy biodynamic agriculture sector, careful stewardship of local resources and family-run businesses. Ladurner has recently handed over responsibility for running Vigilius to his daughter Ingrid. I look forward to reporting back in 2044.
