Familiamus activity and wellness hotel in the Italian Alps features dry slides between each floor, plus two thrilling water slides

wiegand.waterrides, a leading water rides and attraction provider, has collaborated with the Familiamus activity and wellness hotel in the northern Italian Alps to create an extraordinary range of dry slides, and a family wave water slide.

This five-star hotel features a slide experience at the heart of the resort, which far exceeds traditional expectations of slides. With this playful installation, guests can slide through the hotel, between floors, across the lobby, and down to breakfast.

Unforgettable experiences

Hotel Familiamus is a 140-bed resort in Maranza and was opened by Susi and Peter Nestl and their family last year.

The Nestl family once again approached the Wiegand family firm, run by Hedrik Wiegand and headquartered in Rasdorf, Germany, for a memorable play experience. The family had previously worked with wiegand.waterrides on their Erika hotel, which is also designed for families.

The water world at Familiamus includes a family wave water slide constructed of stainless steel which is both durable and sustainable, and a fast GRP RR900 tube slide. Both these slides land in the level beneath the indoor/outdoor pool area.

The dry slides that connect all of the hotel’s levels are its unique feature. Visitors of all ages can use a variety of stainless-steel slides to go from floor to ceiling down the main staircase area, all the way to the lobby, breakfast area, and into the subterranean car park. The hotel’s indoor children’s play area has also been outfitted with Wiegand slides.

More information on Wiegand’s stainless steel slides can be downloaded here.

Earlier this year, wiegand.waterrides brought four new slide experiences to Palm Beach, including a spectacular free-fall slide, to help the operator expand capacity. The firm is the world’s only manufacturer to offer high-quality stainless steel and GRP water slides in its range. This material is ideal for outdoor slides and is easy to maintain, with welded, polished joints and smooth surfaces for optimum slide quality.
