Founded by Daniel Swarovski in the Austrian village of Wattens in 1895, Swarovski has become the world’s leading manufacturer of precision-cut crystals. And today, more than 125 years on, Swarovski remains a family-run enterprise under the management of Daniel Swarovski’s fourth- and fifth-generation descendants. For Swarovski Crystal Worlds, the multimedia artist André Heller designed 18 underground Chambers of Wonder dedicated to the versatile artistic interpretation of the material crystal. The result is a universe of discoveries and a simply unique experience with every visit. Kids can explore a play tower, run through a hedge maze, and ride a carousel that would look at home in the palace of any make-believe kingdom. Adults can join in on the fun too, then marvel at the beauty of the Alps from an observation deck or even explore Roman ruins on the site. The highlight of any visit to the park, though, is The Giant. Carved into a hillside, a waterfall runs from the giant's mouth and hides an entrance to the Chambers of Wonder. Inside, visitors will find 18 rooms with unique installations created by leading artists from around the world. The Chandelier of Grief is one of the main highlights – you can step inside a mirror-lined room with a revolving crystal chandelier that creates haunting shadows and unique light displays. Another sparkling sensation is the newly interpreted chamber “Silent Light”, a poetic installation with real snow and temperatures as low as -10° Celsius.
