Description
People have always been fascinated by the mountains. They are a source of strength and a symbol of freedom, the perfect setting for a deeper time-out, for self-discovery, for a great adventure, or a sporting challenge.
Beyond the hustle and bustle of cities, with their noises and hectic activities, nature and wildlife offer panoramic views and inspiration, tranquility, and relaxation.
In this setting of the Alps, Where Architects Stay in the Alps presents wonderful new accommodations with strong design ideas that have been consistently implemented. The architecture engages in a dialogue with the mountains, appearing sometimes archaically rough, wooden and close to nature, or contrastingly delicate and filigree.
Despite the many different concepts, the projects presented are always distinguished by their high-quality design, uniqueness, and individuality.
