During the construction of the Madonna Inn, the old
Alpine herdsman game of “Stone-throwing” or “Steinstossen” was rediscovered. Competitors would lift a stone above their heads
before hurling it, being careful not to step over a line. Alex Madonna was Swiss, and his love for rocks is evident throughout
the Inn. Stones gathered from the surrounding farmland were carefully positioned (not hurled) to create this unique setting.
The rich, vibrant colors of the room are enhanced by the rock floors and distinctive furnishings. This room has a king bed and,
you guessed it, a “rock” shower! Photography ©2000
