Chamonix, FranceEUROPE2025Alpine Stay
[ OVERVIEW ]This nacelle once operated in a coastal wind farm in Western France before being repurposed by OUT & ABOUT and anchored high above the Chamonix valley as a fully autonomous alpine stay. Positioned above the treeline, it faces glacier air, shifting weather and exposed mountain silence.
Reaching it requires a demanding 9-kilometre ascent with significant elevation gain; snowshoes in winter, alpine trail in late season. Conditions can be harsh and navigation is essential.
Inside, the nacelle is engineered for altitude — insulated, secure and minimal, providing heat, water and shelter.
This stay is not about spectacle. It is about clarity.
This stay is not designed to impress. It is built for presence

MOUNTAIN CONDITIONS
Alpine terrain with steep ascent and shifting weather. Thin air, snow or ice likely depending on season. Requires stable physical condition.
Food & water
No food or service access in the area. Guests bring their own supplies. Water is glacial or filtered through the cabin’s built-in system.
ALTITUDE & EXPOSURE
Set above the treeline with full mountain exposure. Long sightlines, no shelter from weather. You are fully in alpine conditions from arrival onward.
CABIN EXPERIENCE
Self-sustaining nacelle adapted for elevation. Heated, insulated, secure — but minimal. Built for recovery after effort, not for convenience.
