ArchitectureThe Summit Lodges are traditional Tyrolean log houses. In this style of construction, only whole logs are joined together with natural wood connections. The great thing about it is the impressive ecological balance, because the energy and resource consumption during construction is extremely low. Since wood insulates better than any other building material, hardly any additional insulating material is required and where it is, Tyrolean sheep's wool was used at the Summit Lodges. This means that no waste at all would be left over when the building was dismantled. In addition, wood creates a particularly pleasant living environment. It regulates temperature and humidity and naturally filters the air you breathe. To further save heating energy, the lodges are equipped with large triple-glazed windows and face south.

EnvironmentThe town of Pfunds is a climate alliance community. Accordingly, the residents have made it their mission to set a good example and live particularly sustainably. The Summit Lodges are heated with an air source heat pump and a wood stove using wood from local sustainable forests. All lighting in the houses and on the property consists of energy-saving LED lamps. Of course there is a recycling system, biological detergents and water saving filters in all taps. The garden is irrigated with water from the stream and is stocked with regional plants and a bee hotel.
