The AKI Family Resort, a 5-star family hotel that belongs to the renowned Adler Group and opened in November 2024, is idyllically situated in the South Tyrolean mountains at almost 1,000 metres at the foot of the Plose. Even in the lobby, it is clear that children's dreams come true here - a large vertical floor net with a crawl tunnel to climb up and an integrated tunnel slide to swing down is located right next to reception, so that little guests can play while their parents are still checking in.
The play areas designed by Richter Spielgeräte can be found both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, the play barn, modelled on a typical hay barn in the area, is a particular source of excitement. In the outdoor area, it is particularly noticeable that the equipment is free-standing, such as the tractor and the ‘grazing’ wobbly sheep on an alpine meadow. In addition, a small mill house with roof shingles that are typical of the region invites imaginative role play. A specially created stream that flows into a lake and can be crossed on a wooden ferry also makes children's hearts beat faster.

A craft room, a spacious infinity pool and daily childcare with a varied programme complete the picture of relaxation and recreation for families with young and older children.
Sustainability and regionality are also very important here. Numerous natural materials such as wood and stone were used. The project was realised in collaboration with regional craftsmen - with one exception: the play equipment was supplied by Richter Spielgeräte from Frasdorf in Upper Bavaria. They were installed entirely without concrete foundations.
