The New Monte Rosa Hut is opening its doors this weekend. The hut was build as a joint project between the ETH Zuerich, SAC, the ‘Hochschule Luzern – Technik & Architektur’ and EMPA. It’s a fascinating project in many ways: architecture, energy efficiency (90% of the energy is produced by the hut itself) and construction challenges (the hut is situated between three glaciers with no gondola to the hut).
Take a look at the pictures about the construction.
