Designed by Nicholas Grimshaw, the hall’s architecture integrates modern design with the surrounding alpine landscape. Its wooden construction and carefully engineered acoustics aim to deliver exceptional sound quality for both performers and audience members. The hall accommodates approximately 830 attendees and has become central to the festival's identity, hosting a significant portion of its performances annually. It is noted for its relatively intimate setting which promotes a close connection between musicians and listeners.
