Following the fire that destroyed the Botta restaurant at Glacier 3000, Mario Botta is once again in charge of the architecture of the new restaurant. The interior has been completely redesigned to improve the quality of the customer experience and fire safety. Scheduled for completion in summer, the new structure will incorporate a solar power plant and optimise the interior space, offering seating for 400. A 250m2 panoramic terrace on the roof of the building will offer exceptional views of the Peak Walk by Tissot and the surrounding peaks. The project to rebuild the restaurant includes the installation of 600 solar panels on the south-west façade of the building. This will cover a large part of the restaurant's energy consumption. The heat released by kitchen ventilation will also be reused to produce hot water.
