Several atmospheric transmission windows between 350 micro m and 3 mm wavelength which allow astronomical observations from a sufficiently high and dry mountain site are examined. The design of a telescope for themm wavelength region, which will exhibit full performance at 350 micro m is outlined. The diameter of the reflector is approximately 10 m, the surface accuracy is 15 micro m and the pointing accuracy 1". Extensive use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic enables a light and stiff construction without significant thermal deformations.
