Rigi des Alpes

As part of the Rigi Des Alpes project, the first four Swiss Wikkelhouses, are being built on the Rigi. The overall project includes the comprehensive renovation of an Art Nouveau hotel dating from 1899, as well as a complementary new building constructed using timber. The four Wikkelhouses will be located south of the existing buildings and will blend into the overall concept as standalone residential units.

We are particularly pleased that all four houses have already been sold. One of the Wikkelhouses will be used as an Airbnb accommodation in the future, allowing guests to experience living in a Wikkelhouse for themselves.

Update 03.06.2026

The four Swiss Wikkelhouses on the Rigi are now entering the final phase of construction. During calendar weeks 21 and 22, the kitchens were installed and numerous finishing works were completed.

In the wet rooms, particularly exposed surfaces received an additional protective coating. This improves resistance to moisture and supports easy cleaning and maintenance during daily use.

The recirculating air heating systems have been fully installed, while preparations for the electrical, fibre-optic and water connections have also been completed. Work is currently focused on planning the protective conduits for the underground service lines to ensure the long-term durability of the infrastructure.

With each completed milestone, the project moves one step closer to completion. The remaining works primarily involve the final connections and finishing details before the four Wikkelhouses are prepared for final cleaning and handover.
