The Monte Rosa Eco friendly Hut is all set to inaugurate on Saturday

The Monte Rosa hut is an Alpine shelter developed to work effectively at an altitude of 2883m above sea level. Designed to be surrounded by the Swiss Alps, the shelter is a convincing demonstration of state of the art technology working simultaneously with the environment. The shelter can be built using traditional construction methods such as half-timber building with its geometrically complex wood junctions.

The architects believe that the Monte Rosa hut relies completely on its own energy production, water collection and systems for treating solid waste and waste water. As a result the CO2 emissions will be less than one third compared to existing alpine huts. The materials used for the construction of the shelter are kept lightweight, so that a lesser number of helicopter trips are needed to transport the sculpture to the mountains and substantially cut on-site building time.
