Incredible Glass Cabin Will Let Mountaineers Shelter from High-Altitude Peril in the Alps



An incredible new glass cabin will let mountaineers shelter from high-altitude perils with the same chic taste as a Milano office high rise. Designers have created the cabin ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, where it will be showcased in the city before being airlifted to its permanent location in the Alps. Designed to harmonize with the Alpine landscape, its creation began with a 3D scan of rock formations in the region. Unfortunately, today bivouacs often look like airships that have landed on beautiful alpine landscapes, while the glass cabin is a structure that blends as much as possible with the surroundings. The Winter Olympics will take place across the north of Italy, with half of the events held at the legendary Cortina d’Ampezzo ski resort in Trentino Alto Adige, and the others across the valleys of Lombardy.
