The construction site of the new "bivouac" is located at the Schnalstal glacier in Italy, 3,013 m above sea level, embedded in the impressive high alpine mountain landscape not far off the border of Austria. The architects’ task was to create a safe haven for hikers and adventurers in adverse conditions, as well as a spot to linger and relax in the sun. The beauty of the unspoiled natural landscape, the rugged terrain and the wild nature, characterize the Schnalstal glacier and the life on and around it since its’ very origins.
