The Furi in Zermatt is a diverse excursion destination: with lush green meadows, suspension bridges and a glacier garden, it attracts visitors in the warmer months, while snow sports enthusiasts enjoy the slopes in winter. It can be reached via the mountain railway station, the largest hub in the entire Zermatt ski area.

Designed by Arnold Zurniwen Architekten AG, the station boasts of 300 bespoke glass panes by us, forming a unique scaled glass façade. Not only aesthetically striking with its blue hue and subtle violet shimmer, it is tailored specifically to the client's aesthetic vision – but it also serves a critical function. The designed scales SWISSSTULP offer substantial protection against the formidable winds and weather conditions inherent to such a high-altitude locale, negating the need for additional insulation.
