Aiming high safely New windows for the Santner Pass hut with Swisspacer Air
The refuge on the Santner Pass is in a unique position in the Dolomites between the Rosengarten peak and the König Laurin wall. The hut, which was redesigned between spring 2021 and mid-2023, was conceived by Senoner & Tammerle Architects as a single-roof house with an outer skin made of galvanised sheet steel that reflects the ambient light and almost blends in with the impressive mountain landscape. Dormer windows on both sides of the roof provide the interior with daylight. The restaurant on the ground floor offers exceptional views of the high alpine landscape through large panoramic glazing and a terrace cut into the envelope.
