Small is beautiful

48° Nord embodies the intersection of my two passions, nature and architecture, and my two cultures, those of Denmark and Alsace.

I envisioned an open and intimate place, the epitome of freedom, where visitors could bask in nature’s serenity. I created a simple and friendly gathering place where each guest can slow down and experience life in a community of just 14 hyttes.

This place is the reflection of my inner values, built with an environmentally-friendly approach and a 100% organic and homemade restaurant, which uses produce from our own vegetable garden and local suppliers. It is not just a hotel; it is an entire universe.

Elegant nature, surprising architecture

Architecturally, we have sought a common thread between the Alsatian and Scandinavian cultures. The architecture needs to blend seamlessly into the landscape without getting lost in it, a testament to how nature, ecology, and modernity can go hand-in-hand.

Fjell Hytte

A bold presence

of striking minimalism

Perched in the heights of the Alsatian village of Breitenbach, 48° Nord stands out against the landscape. This architectural piece of art was designed by the Norwegian architect Reiulf Ramstad. The Landscape Høtel is his reinterpretation of the traditional Scandinavian hytte. Its sleek lines and untreated wood create a natural yet striking juxtaposition between 48° Nord and the scenery.

Fjell Hytte

Harmonious with nature

in design and construction

There are no cinder blocks, tiles, or classic gardens in sight but instead certified local wood, green roofs, and grassy meadows! Here, nature takes back its rights within the community. Each hytte is small, minimalistic, unobtrusive, and can even be disassembled - as they are built on piling, they simply sit upon the hillside. The Landscape Høtel was specifically designed to fit into a preserved setting without disturbing it.

Unquestionably responsible

and inherently ecological

48° Nord sits on a protected Natura 2000 site, thus its construction could not be anything but 100% environmentally-friendly. The main building conforms to Passivhaus standards, its native Alsatian outer wooden cladding worked in a reintegration workshop in Saverne. Each hytte has been built with bio-based materials sourced directly from Breitenbach's forests. All of the softwood lumber and natural insulation used on the site is certified. Each drop of rain is collected and treated through a reed bed filtration system.

We value and recycle nature's gifts as a way to better preserve it.
