Temporarily built. For lasting moments.

Momentum was designed as a temporary hotel for five years on a building right owned by Lauchernalp Bergbahnen - with a clear objective: to promote sustainable, responsible tourism. The lodge shows that innovation, environmental awareness and alpine architecture complement each other perfectly.

Sustainable timber construction

The innovative GU project is being built by Schäfer Holzbautechnik from Dottikon, based on an idea by Pool Architekten from Zurich. Supervised on site by Albrecht Architekten from Brig, it stands on a foundation by Zengaffinen AG from Steg and with the strong support of regional craftsmen.

• Modular construction from Swiss timber production
