Fascinated by the Alps, the two authors spend a large part of their free time in the mountains. In their quest for new and special places—whether as a stopover or to arrive and find peace—they have gathered a variety of accommodations. The portfolio of featured buildings ranges from houses that have been in the family for generations and shaped by different characters, to modern renovated chalets and secluded cabins. The choice of projects is influenced by materials that harmonize with the surroundings and sustainable construction methods, as well as a successful spatial and atmospheric concept. But it’s not just about architecture—the authors also share the stories of the operators about the creation or continuation of the house and about life and the people in the Alps.
