Ski from the roof to the slopes at this epic new Swiss lodge.
Currently under construction, the new 7,000 square metre Hôtel des Horlogers is nestled within Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, and features a five-level external ski path you're encouraged to meander down.
SEE ALSO:This could be the first space hotel and people are already pre-booking the $9.5 million experienceThe luxury hotel has been designed by Copenhagen's Bjarke Ingels Group for Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet, in the village of Le Brassus, where the brand's workshop is located.
Once the hotel's complete, you'll be able to ski down five levels of the building's exterior, using a topographically suited path that leads to local ski trails at the foot. Alternatively, you can ski right into a spa or bar on different levels, which is definitely more my style.

Completion date is yet to be announced, but you can start saving your pennies now.
