"visualizations courtesy Peter Pichler Architecture Peter Pichler Architecture frames a series of ascending views Peter Pichler Architecture's mountain station project replaces two separate ski lifts with one continuous gondola line, streamlining the ascent from the valley to the Angelo summit. This infrastructural decision establishes a legible vertical journey, marked by a sequence of stations that register scenic changes in altitude and view."
"Newly-designed mountain stations and an alpine hut by Peter Pichler Architecture are set to be built in Ponte di Legno, Italy, along the Valbione-Corno d'Aola-Angelo corridor at elevations reaching 2,200 meters (7,218 feet). Envisioned as part of a broader renewal of mountain mobility, the project brings together ski lift infrastructure, public interiors, and welcoming gathering spaces within a single project."
New mountain stations and an alpine hut are planned along the Valbione-Corno d'Aola-Angelo corridor in Ponte di Legno, reaching elevations up to 2,200 meters. The design consolidates two separate ski lifts into one continuous gondola line to streamline ascent and create a legible vertical journey marked by sequential stations. Each stop functions as a spatial pause with widened platforms, extended roofs, and framed openings oriented toward ridgelines. Timber serves as the primary structural and interior material, with slender angled columns and deep pitched roofs that echo alpine profiles. The proposal aligns new construction with existing routes, slopes, and tree lines while accommodating public interiors and gathering spaces.
