The project envisions an engine room for the sledge-lift on the ground floor, a bar and restaurant facing the mountain, and solarium terrace facing south. The central staircase in the restaurant should have led to dormitories obtained from the volume of the roof with room for about fifty guests. However, the space under the roof shall never be used as a dormitory. It is a construction only apparently in “blockbau”: the first storey is entirely crossed by a porticoed structure with overhanging beams, which is completed on the covering storey by a series of concrete roof trusses with variable geometry, whose centrings adapt to the complex geometry of the pitched roof.

Behind the appearance of a traditional blockbau in solid wood is hidden a modern and oversized skeleton structure, which reduces the external walls to simple reinforcement, lacking static function. An aerial volume in wood beaded vertically, with the roof in counterslope, rests on just two solid pillars which frame an ample glazed wall and the sinuous terrace with mushroom-like pillars in reinforced concrete. Run down by neglect and lack of upkeep, after being abandoned in 1989, it was returned to its original conditions by Giovanni Brino and Giorgio Raineri. In the early nineties they drew up a preliminary philological restoration project which was completed only ten years later, while the interior was only finished in 2005.
