Signature Experience
The USP of Wood Crista is our private apple orchard. Guests are invited to stroll through the rows of trees at sunrise, breathing in the crisp mountain air and witnessing the unhurried life of the hills.
Depending on the season, you can see the blossoms in spring or the heavy, red fruit in late summer/autumn.
