Glittering Building


Glittering Building


The shinning point - It’s the Swiss Alpine Club’s new Monte Rosa mountaineer’s hut, and it’s 90% energy self-sufficient.


The new Monte-Rosa Hut is a trendsetting research and development project of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in collaboration with the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) and the Empa. Located amid a glacier landscape, it proves that sustainable building is possible even under those conditions and provides incentives for the Swiss building industry.
