Hotel Hubertus, Italy, by NOA
This 25-metre-long pool projects from the front of the Hotel Hubertus at a ski resort in the Italian province of South Tyrol.
Supported 12 metres above the ground by native larch trees that have been stripped of their bark, the pool has a glazed opening in its underside to give swimmers "the feeling of floating".

The swimmable bridge is fully constructed from transparent acrylic so swimmers can see views of London and the ground 35 metres below. Find out more about Sky Pool ?
