Following the fire that destroyed the Botta restaurant in Glacier 3000 in September 2022, Ticino architect Mario Botta has once again been commissioned to design the new establishment, which will open its doors this winter. The interior has been completely redesigned to improve both the quality of the customer experience and fire safety.
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.
The new structure also incorporates a solar power plant and offers optimised interior space, with seating for 400. A 250m2 panoramic terrace on the roof of the building will offer an exceptional view of the Peak Walk by Tissot and the surrounding peaks.
