The Great Glenorchy Alpine Basecamp

RTA Studio and Bureaux

Jury citation

Many global tourist destinations are suffering from being overrun by huge visitor numbers. The slow tourism of The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp suggests a softer touch. The experiences here for tourists are not offering hospitality with a high demand in terms of energy and resource use. The low-impact buildings and site services offer delightfully simple sleeping huts rather than a high-end hotel, something which suggests visitors who book an experience here are much more in tune with the spirit of the place.
