The design itself is inspired by the [mountain skyline of the Alps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coarch-studio) and is made to be connected with the landscape that surrounds the area. Additionally, there is also a new aerial walkway that is connected to an [elevated timber sauna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfsufficient-bivouac), which is also designed by NOA. NOA explains the design to Dezeen, stating that "[The] new extension [aims] to enhance and integrate the facilities with the surrounding landscape. [The] project camouflages the new, plays with the profile of the mountains, and gives guests the emotion of [a] sincere bond with nature."
