To sleep in Skylodge Suites you have to climb 400 mt. by a route of via ferrata or walking on a winding but safe path. Designed by Ferri and manufactured by hand with aerospace aluminum and polycarbonate sheets resistant to the elements, each suite has four beds, a dining room and a bathroom.
The access is at the top of the ship. The design and features of each suite offer first class services and comfort. An alternative lighting system with four interior lights and a reading lamp, powered by solar panels.
Each suite has a private bathroom separated from the bedroom with an insulating wall, a dry toilet and a small sink. It could not be otherwise: sleep in the mountains as they do, in the most unusual ways, professional mountaineers.
