just beyond the lively, northern italian town of cortina d’ampezzo, the ‘starlight room dolomites‘ welcomes guests wanting an intimate retreat from urban life. accommodating single visitors, couples, and small groups, the tiny cabin offers unobstructed views of the surrounding alpine landscape. placed at an altitude of 2,055 meters (6,742 feet), the wooden abode is set on faux-skis and features a glass ceiling and walls, providing a panoramic perspective of the mountainous setting. a double bed fits snugly inside the enclosed transparent chamber, allowing visitors to observe the starry sky by night, far from light pollution and noise. adventurous guests can arrive to the site by snowmobile or using snowshoes.
