At 100 m the Pyramidenkogel tower is the world's tallest wooden observation tower. A total of 500 m3 of larch glue laminated timber and around 160 m3 of cross-laminated timber was used to build the three viewing platforms. An additional 300 m2 of larch jetty covering and 200 m2 of surfaced spruce timber was also used.
