It was 1998 when Peter Gastberger gave wings to his vision for lake Wolfgang and turned his idea of an inhabitable experience into reality with the scalaria. Pure, exclusive and unmistakable. Even then, the circus circus theater-restaurant was a unique location that was perfect for staging brands and unforgettable company celebrations. Not least thanks to the specially developed lifting and suspended stage, which was a pioneering concept shortly before the turn of the millennium.
It was only a matter of time before the big stars caught wind of this unique location. And so, since 2019, the Living Legends of Aviation Europe Awards have been presenting the Oscars of aviation at scalaria, with a touch of Hollywood wafting across the lake thanks to special personalities such as John Travolta and Morgan Freeman. Entrepreneurs, industry leaders, astronauts, pilots and record holders from all over the world will also come together to celebrate the fascinating world of aviation for a weekend.

sustainable responsibility:
100% CO2 neutral thanks to heat exchange pump
Even though the scalaria is known as a world-famous stage on the lake, pioneering measures in the area of sustainability and climate protection have been and are being taken behind the scenes throughout its existence. For example, the newly installed lake heat exchange system draws heat and cold from the lake water, while the in-house photovoltaic power plant generates the energy required for this heat pump. This results in complete CO2 neutrality. In addition, an innovative water pipe system runs through all the rooms, enabling a closed cooling circuit for heating and cooling without causing any pollution.
