La Fête de la Musique
This contraption invented by Ross Lovegrove’s is a futuristic ski chalet pod. It looks like a George Lucas inspired metal tent – but believe me this is nothing like camping. Instead of cold noses peaking out of sleeping bags and wrestling with calor gas stoves, this place is fully hooked up with portable power plants with vertical wind turbines and petal-shaped solar panels will provide it with 500W each of energy. If you think that’s good then the carbon footprint is tiny to insignificant so you can rest easy in the comfort of your new age pod. The mirrored exterior means you’re almost invisible on the mountain but even more impressively enables you from the comfort of the pod to have 360 degree views of the mountains. It will be available to rent from late next year meaning if you’re planning a ski trip in 2010- 2011 you could stay in one of these. I never thought I’d be tempted by sleeping up a mountain in ski season but when it sounds this good for the environment I don’t think I can resist.
Ten80 Events managed a hugely successful ShortList trip to Chamonix... for the second year running. I certainly look forward to working with the Ten80 team again!
