"Reaching AltiHut on Mount Kazbek means a refuge is no longer just a roof over climbers' heads, but a statement about standing lightly on a fragile landscape. The original hut was conceived as Georgia's first sustainable high-altitude destination at 3,014 meters, helicopter-delivered and sun-powered, uniting comfort with responsibility. What it offers is not conquest, but a place to pause and pay attention to where you actually are."
"The new AltiHut Cottages are STIPFOLD's way of making that experience more intimate. Designed for families and small groups, they are small satellites expanding the main hut's ecosystem without turning the mountain into a resort. Each unit is a compact retreat with a children's room, central living area, and open mezzanine bedroom facing the horizon, keeping the layout simple enough to disappear into the routine of waking, eating, and sleeping."
"Approaching a cottage across the snow, you see a single opening in a smooth fiber-concrete shell. From outside, it reads less like a house and more like a weathered rock or snow-carved form. Crossing the threshold, you move from wind and glare into a warm wooden interior that still keeps the mountain in full view, so arrival is about balance rather than escape from the cold."
AltiHut on Mount Kazbek redefines a refuge as a lightweight presence on a fragile landscape, offering a helicopter-delivered, sun-powered hut at 3,014 meters that balances comfort with responsibility. STIPFOLD's AltiHut Cottages extend that model into intimate satellite units for families and small groups, preserving the mountain's ecosystem without creating a resort. Each cottage features a fiber-concrete shell that weathers into the terrain and a warm wooden interior with a central living area, children's room, and open mezzanine oriented to the horizon, prioritizing simple routines and attentive connection to place.
