Stunning Igloo Hotel with Private Pools, Mountain Saunas, and Candle-lit Suites – Imagine this winter, you’re in this hotel which is carved out of the surrounding snow, with igloo rooms, romantic suites, and even an outdoor whirlpool for the valiant guests.
The Iglu-Dorf hotel is rebuilt every season from 3,000 tons of snow at 6 locations from the Alps to the Pyrenees. The Swiss igloos, built in the Bernese Oberland and beautifully surrounded by 9,000ft mountain peaks, come with artworks carved into the walls by artists from around the world, candle-lit suites for romantic visitors, and even saunas among the mountains.
It is open from 25th December to April, and every village sleeps up to 38 guests, cocooning them in cozy sleeping bags on thick sheepskin rugs, designed to withstand temperatures of minus 40C. And in the morning, there’s a huge buffet of croissants, cooked meats, pastries, cereals, cheese, and coffee. The cost for one in a standard Iglu-Dorf igloo is 99euros (£68) from Monday to Thursday and 115 euros from Friday to Sunday.
The site shows the great multiplicity of works in rooms and common areas of the exceptional accommodation from traditional Inuit works to artists from Switzerland and much further abroad. Artists armed with no more than an ice pick, motorized saw, and shovel, produce life-like animals like seals, arctic wolves, polar bears, and whales, striking designs and patterns, or even superheroes.
It’s an elaborate and classy scene compared to the basic igloo Gunter first constructed with friends on a mountain in a bid to be first on the slopes in the morning. The company says 99 % of their visitors stay one night only. Therefore we don’t generally recommend more than one night because we neither have running water, nor showers.
Each village caters to 38 guests a night, all of who bed down on a thick sheepskin rug in cozy sleeping bags equipped for minus-40 degrees Celsius. Nighttime entertainment doesn’t extend much past mulled and good conversation, though there’s a private whirlpool and saunas.
