High above the skiing mecca of Zermatt stands the ultra modern eco-friendly Monte-Rosa hut, which replaces the old hut 80m to the south. The SFr6.5 million building, which looks like a glass crystal, was developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and uses solar technology for most of its energy and heat requirements. Swiss TV had a sneak preview ahead of the official opening. (SF, swissinfo.ch)
