La Marmotta
Interior and architecture shooting for La Marmotta Alpine Shelter.
Altitude of 2,420 m, upper Susa Valley. La Marmotta stands here, as a reinterpretation of the alpine shelter in an open, welcoming and versatile formula: restaurant, bistro, location.
The unusually ample surfaces of its windows become a great backdrop to a world where the show of nature takes centre stage. Inside you can take in an intimate atmosphere due to a meticulous design that does not forego materials that tell a story: the tables of the restaurant, for example, represent precious pieces of an ancient hardwood floor.
