The Oberholz Mountain Hut rests on the edge of the Italian Dolomites at a height of 2,000 meters and seems as if it has just grown and branched out of the mountainside spontaneously. But in fact, it is the result of a studious, 2015 competition submission and subsequent win by Peter Pichler Architecture and architect, Pavol Mikolajcak for their client, Obereggen AG/Spa. The project, which is located beside the Obereggen cable station, began construction in April of 2016 and was completed in December of the same year.

These "branches" are the three main sections of the restaurant, each of which fans out and directly faces one of the three most important mountains in the near distance. A vast, glass window wall caps each of these "branches" so as to fully take advantage of the magnificent views. The sloping roofs of each of these three "branches" bring to mind the gabled roofs of classic mountain huts, and in fact the entire, complex construction is a contemporary interpretation of that archetypical shape.
