Toby Geeks Out!

Can we talk about these Italian mountain huts? Val d’Aosta has nearly ten of them — including Rifugio Capanna Regina Margherita, that opened in 1893. One is perched 9,300 feet above the Frebouze Glacier, shaped like an airplane fuselage with porthole windows. I would love to sit there & watch the sunrise shadow the beauty of those mountain peaks. Dwell magazine calls this new wave of alpine design:

"the most fertile period in backcountry hut design since the invention of hiking."

I believe it.
