On Top of the highest Mountains with Snow and Ice

December 20, 2009



Austrian Pavilion : On Top of the highest Mountains with Snow and Ice

The visitor reaches the first stage across a mountain pass-like ascent: the mountain area with snow and ice covered surfaces.

The temperature is close to the freezing point, and you can feel the cold and touch real snow. The virtual change between day and night offers the visitor a starry sky or a fantastic view you may only come across in the mountains. Acoustic elements such as crunching snow, soughing wind or breaking ice amplify the experience of high mountains and glaciers in the same way as the noise caused by a skier, a snow crawler, or an avalanche thundering down the hill.

The tour then continues from the mountain area down in the direction of the city, with the visitor initially descending down to the timberline where he consequently strolls through the Austrian woods.
