The origins and original purpose of rituals
The location for the Ark was chosen deliberately: above the fog line and with a sweeping view. The visual journey takes us from Slovenia and Italy through Styria and back to Carinthia. The most striking peak is Triglav in the Julian Alps, rising to 2,864 meters. Turning westward from the Carnic Alps, the Dobratsch, Gerlitzen, Nockberge, and Niedere Tauern rise up. This view is fantastic, impressive, and soothing all at once. It’s no wonder that the rooms with panoramic views are among the favorites.
The menu features seasonal ingredients grown locally. For example: asparagus and strawberries in the spring. Leafy greens and cherries in the summer. Pumpkin and apples in the fall. Root vegetables and dried fruits in the winter. Exceptions prove the rule. Then things get exotic—with passion fruit and dates at the breakfast buffet or pakoras, Indian vegetable fritters coated in batter, as a main course. Because we like to be a little crazy. And we were proud to be awarded the Grüne Haube in 1994 for our natural cuisine.

Since the dawn of humanity, rituals have been sacred acts and a living symbolic language. Much of this has become mere custom over time—yet the effect has not disappeared; it awaits to be consciously awakened. Rituals are more than repetition: in consciously designed spaces, they set impulses in motion that unfold into everyday reality through subtle planes. You will learn to use these powers mindfully.
