Located at more than 2000m and lost in the Dolomites, Oberholz Mountain Hut is a modern hut entirely built with natural materials and particular attention to sustainability. Perfect mix between tradition and innovation, this is one of the best example of high altitude Alpine architecture in Italy.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Oberholz Hut is at 2096m altitude, near the ski resort of Obereggen in the province of Bolzano. From its large windows and the panoramic terrace<\/strong>, you can enjoy the perfect view of the famous ski slope of Oberholz. You will be surrounded by the breath-taking silhouettes of the Dolomites, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site<\/strong>.
\nThe hut\u2019s project, signed by architect Peter Pichler<\/strong> in collaboration with Pavol Mikolajcak, is the winner of a design competition. Its strengths are the dialogue between nature and architecture, the harmony with the landscape<\/strong> and the attention to sustainability. The architect used\u00a0local wood<\/strong>,\u00a0inspired by the traditional mountain chalets, but at the same time he introduced contemporary techniques and design. A perfect balance<\/strong> between innovation and tradition.<\/p>\n

Just like tree branches on the mountain’s side – Oberholz Hut<\/div><\/div>\n

At a first glance, the hut reminds of a lying tree<\/strong>, whose branches extend on the mountain\u2019s side. And this idea is given not only by its shape, but also by the material used: wood. Larch<\/strong> for the external fa\u00e7ade, spruce<\/strong> for the supporting structure and the inner lining; even the rooms have marvelous wood paneling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThe building\u2019s external facade is made of juxtaposed larch beams<\/strong>, which remind of the ancient local stables.
\nThis eco-friendly architecture<\/strong> is both refined and welcoming.
\nEach of the three verandas is built in a small alcove<\/strong>, which gives intimacy and comfort: It\u2019s the best way to dive in the stunning landscape<\/strong> of the Dolomites.<\/p>\n
