Key Article ▪ New Monte Rosa Hut SAC The mountain hut of the future – the New Monte Rosa Hut SAC High above Zermatt, exposed at an altitude of 2883 m above sea level in the centre of the spectacular Monte Rosa massive, ETH Zurich and the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) have successfully concluded a ground-breaking project in high alpine construction. by Patrick Dilger, Planning & Controlling D-BAUG The project on the New Monte Rosa Hut SAC was launched in 2005, the 150th jubilee year of ETH Zurich. In collaboration with SAC, ETH Zurich strove to construct a transforming, innovative and ecologically sustainable hut, exemplary in design and technology, and mirroring the research conducted at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. ETH Zurich considers this visionary mountain hut, nicknamed “Mountain Crystal”, to be the most complex timber construction in Switzerland. In addition to elaborating the project’s architectonic and technical concepts, ETH Zurich actively searched for sponsors, but did not contribute to the construction costs amounting to CHF 6.5 million. Due to the extreme climatic conditions, construction had to be completed during the five spring/summer months. Each cubic metre of cement, each wooden element and every single screw were flown to the site by helicopter. Bearing in mind that a maximum load was limited to 600 kg, the high level of prefabricated elements had to be ready to assemble. Since Mountain Crystal’s wooden construction is enveloped in a layer of lamellar aluminium fascia, its polygonal shape glistens and glows in the heart of this majestic rocky landscape. Not only pioneering in terms of its facade, the alpine hut is also eco-friendly.The high alpine building is 90% energy self-sufficient. Starting in March 2010, “Mountain Crystal” is scheduled to welcome approximately 120 guests.

The following two articles focus on these topics. 38 ▪ D-BAUG Annual Report 2009 Map section: Monterosa area Publication (available in German only) «Neue Monte-Rosa-Hütte SAC Ein autarkes Bauwerk im hochalpinen Raum» Vorworte von Ralph Eichler, Meinrad K.
