Heating and cooking at 2,500 metres altitude: with the woodburning stove COOK
Above the small village of Maloja near Sankt Moritz in the Swiss Alps, the founders of the Swiss running company On built a small temporary mountain hut for two people. Only accessible on foot, the futuristic building offered a breathtaking panoramic view – and was an unforgettable place to stay in summer 2019.
The "On Mountain Hut" was built from sustainable, recyclable materials and functioned completely self-sufficiently. Solar modules generated electricity, and the woodburning stove RIKA COOK was used for heating and cooking. Thus, this exceptional accommodation guaranteed a stay that was as functional as it was comfortable. "It makes us proud to share the mountains with the world", confirmed the On founding trio David Allemann, Olivier Bernhard and Caspar Coppetti. Here, in the high Engadine valley, the three founded their running company in 2010. With the construction of the "On Mountain Hut" they returned to their roots, "for us this place is a source of energy, ideas and innovation.”
Back to nature
In the On-Blog, outdoor enthusiasts confirmed that “this mountain hut is an ideal place to retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life and experience adventures away from the crowds.” Built for just one season, the refuge was dismantled without a trace.

"Why only heat when you can also use the heat from the stove for cooking?" was what the three On directors also thought when they equipped their "On Mountain Hut" with the COOK stove from RIKA. While the pleasant warmth of the fire fills the living room, delicious dishes can be prepared on the integrated ceramic hob.
