A made-to-measure mountain lake – swimming pond in Tyrol

Around 250 m² of water surface against the backdrop of the Wildschönau – built between 2006 and 2008, and for twenty years we have been looking after the pond across the border.

Yes, we build in Austria too. One of our largest swimming ponds lies in the Wildschönau in Tyrol: around 250 m² of water surface, built over two seasons from 2006 to 2008 under the site management of Hans Rampf – a body of water that settles into the slope against the mountain backdrop so naturally that it could be a small mountain lake. The edge of the pool floats above the valley, a jetty carries the loungers out over the water, and in summer potted palms stand on the deck – Mediterranean flair at a thousand metres.

Our part was the pond construction and the technology – parts of the project were commissioned by the client from other trades. And we have stayed on: since 2016 we have travelled to Tyrol almost every autumn to winterise, clean and service the pond – a client relationship that has now lasted twenty years across the border.

What a swimming pond of this size needs to deliver can be found under Swimming Pond; how we look after projects in the long term, under garden maintenance.
