The light gray Lunawood exterior cladding and simple architecture blend into the beautiful mountain landscape

Since ecology is an inseparable part of the concept, chemical-free Lunawood Thermowood has been used in the buildings, both for exterior cladding and interior panelling, bringing a piece of pure nature to the accommodation. The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp is a harmonious and cozy entity, where the choice of sustainable Lunawood supports the company’s values and offers facilities strongly associated with nature.
