Zero impact - LEAPfactory

The Gervasutti bivouac is prefabricated high tech climber’s hostel commissioned by CAI Torino, the Italian Alpine Club on Mt. Blanc, Italy, designed by LEAPfactory.

The hostel is named after the great Italian mountaineer Guisto Gervasutti and looks out over the same mountain range he was the first to conquer – the east face of the Grandes Jorasses – which he scaled in 1942.

The shelter offers a sanitary module with a biological toilet, wooden bunk beds, living area with kitchenette and a breathtaking view above Freboudze glacier.
