The treehouse village in Piedmont

TREE HOUSE VILLAGE IN PIEDMONT

Living in a treehouse is almost every child's dream, but who says it can't be an adult's dream too? Since 2002, nestled among the chestnut groves of the Pelati mountains between Valchiusella and Castellamonte, Piedmont, Italy's first treehouse village has stood, populated by several families who live in complete harmony with nature . The houses , built using the most innovative green building techniques, are perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment, with a preference for forest or recycled materials.

TREE VILLAGE AND BIO-BUILDING

All the homes are nestled among chestnut trees at a height of 6-7 meters. To minimize strain on the branches, they are supported by large beams and interconnected by suspended wooden bridges and walkways, allowing you to move from one part of the village to another without ever having to leave the ground. All the apartments are equipped with the most modern comforts: internet, TV, telephone , and so on, but with an environmentally friendly approach and zero waste.

LIVING IN THE TREES

The people who have chosen to embark on this experience are managers, employees, and ordinary individuals who have chosen to leave the chaos of the city and take refuge in the trees to live a different, more eco-sustainable life, in contact with nature. Each of them is responsible for keeping the forest clean and is available to host anyone who wants to lend a hand.
