I was in Switzerland this weekend and considered seeing about spending a night... until I saw the prices. It's more than a major five star hotel (which would normally have many things included). I'd certainly be interested in learning more about the domes and their supplier. With insulation being such a major part of heating/housing, I am very curious how a simple membrane structure could provide enough protection against the cold in mid-winter. As for photos of the chalet... there are a number of them on the site (as well as included in the article) - however the main areas are probably only the restaurant and the spa. definitely a wicked project, but the pricing certainly puts it out of reach for many.

A major concern in a remote, cold resort like this. I can’t help but wonder why there are no photos of the indoor “facilities”… A major concern in a remote, cold resort like this.
