High in the Dolomite Mountains in Italy, you can stargaze all night long in this isolated glass cabin. 

It doesn’t have to be in a fixed location either – it’ equipped with skis meaning a snow mobile can tow you to the perfect mountain view.  

For £300 ($442) a night two people can stay in the remote Starlight Room, via mountain lodge retreat firm Rifugio Col Gallina. 

The catch? To get there, one needs to ride a snowmobile or have serious snowshoe skills.

But those willing to make the journey will have views from 2055 metres above sea level, which have only been enjoyed by a few people to date. 

The cabin was built using locally sourced wood, metal and insulated glass. 

The cosy interior is sparsely furnished, with a heater and an adjustable bed, so you can sit up and look at the mountains, before lying back and gazing at the stars. 

However, the portable home lacks a bathroom and kitchen facilities. Luckily dinner and breakfast are included. 

There’s also a flat-screen television that can play time-lapse images of the Dolomites, in case you know, you can’t be bothered to look out the window. 

Wi-Fi not included.
