Park in Vulpera (History Hotel Waldhaus)
Hotel Waldhaus Vulpera
The Hotel Waldhaus Vulpera was a spa building and grand hotel in Eastern Switzerland. The neo-Renaissance style building with artistic sgraffito elements has long been considered Europe's top address for spa tourism in the Alps and a symbol of the Belle Époque. With 270 beds, it was the largest hotel in Scuol-Tarasp-Vulpera and went down in architectural history as one of the most important new hotel buildings of the 19th century. It burned down in 1989, probably as a result of an arson attack.
The Grandhotel Waldhaus Vulpera was built in 1896-1897 on behalf of the Waldhaus Vulpera hotel company by the architect Nikolaus Hartmann senior (1838-1903). It was opened on June 8, 1897. Friedrich Dürrenmatt was one of the regular guests of the Hotel Waldhaus from 1959, and he used his stays to incorporate them into his last novel, Chaos Valley.
In 1883 the brothers Duri and Caspar Pinösch from Ardez took over the Pension Waldhaus in Vulpera. The cellar and the ground floor rooms of the Pension Waldhaus were partially integrated into the south wing of the new hotel building from 1896-1897, the rest of the Pension Waldhaus was demolished.
In 1886, a wooden chalet was built as a "Villa Dependance" of the Hotel Waldhaus Vulpera on behalf of the Pinösch brothers by master builders Baur and Nabholz (Seefeld, Zurich). From June 10 to July 11, 1894, the Queen of the Netherlands Wilhelmina (Netherlands) stayed in this chalet. Because of this visit, the villa now bears the name Villa Wilhelmina or Villa Wilhelmine.
In 1894 Vulpera received its own power station from Brown, Boveri & Cie and Escher Wyss & Cie.
In 1930 the hotel company Waldhaus Vulpera built the third outdoor hotel pool in Switzerland (also called the lido).
On May 27, 1989, the hotel was destroyed by a major fire caused by arson. According to the annual report of the Graubünden building insurance company, this resulted in a total loss of CHF 23 million. Today there is a park in which there are still elements of the Grand Hotel (fountain and cast iron columns) and the Villa Wilhelmina. The perpetrator was never determined.

The Vulpera spa park was opened in 2004 on the site of the former Grand Hotel Waldhaus. The same fountain is still located where the Grand Hotel's former main entrance was. The columns behind it were rescued from the ruins of the former Waldhaus and now mark the location of the former vestibule and main entrance. The park offers well-kept green spaces and a pavilion for strolling and relaxing.

Due to the mineral springs, Vulpera is a popular health resort with a few holiday apartments. In addition, the place also has a picturesque park, which is surrounded by the peaks of the Alps.
