Unique Accommodation – This is one of several Iglu-Dorf locations, a fascinating hotel made entirely of snow and ice, nestled in the stunning Swiss Alps. It offers a truly unique overnight experience in a winter wonderland.
Why people come here
Novelty Experience – People come here for the extraordinary opportunity to sleep in an igloo, surrounded by intricate ice sculptures and a serene, snowy landscape. It's a popular choice for those seeking an adventurous and romantic winter escape.
What to expect
Cold Comfort – Expect a magical atmosphere with rooms carved from snow and ice. While it's cold, sleeping bags designed for extreme temperatures are provided to keep you warm. The experience often includes a welcome drink, dinner, and access to a shared whirlpool or sauna under the stars. The environment is generally quiet and intimate.
Best time to go
Winter Season – The Iglu-Dorf is typically open during the winter months, usually from late December to April, depending on snow conditions. Visiting during this period ensures the igloos are fully constructed and the surrounding ski slopes are active.
Practical info
Warm Layers – Dress warmly in multiple layers, even when inside the igloo. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially for weekends or special dates, as capacity is limited. Access usually involves a cable car ride up the mountain.
Good to know
Art & Sustainability – Each year, the igloos are rebuilt and feature new, elaborate ice and snow art. The Iglu-Dorf concept is designed to be temporary and uses natural resources, melting away in spring without leaving a trace. It’s an immersive way to experience the alpine environment.
