A new hotel in Switzerland will sit right next to a museum celebrating the world-famous watch manufacturer, the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet.

Guests will be able to ski down the zigzagging roof of the hotel and onto the slopes of the Vallée de Joux in western Switzerland.

Inside, a continuous sloping corridor will connect the rooms, while the hotel will also contain two restaurants, a bar, a spa and a conference center. [Photo/VCG]

Five ramps atop the Z-shaped building will make a gentle sloping path, which will lead directly to the museum and local cross-country ski trails of the Vallée de Joux. This unique design means that guests will be able to ski down the roof, accessing the ski trails in style.

Work is already underway on the hotel which is set to open in 2020, and it's sure to be a popular destination for stylish mountain-lovers.
