Like the idea of getting closer to nature but would rather not rough it? Like your holiday accommodation to be exclusive, yet still quirky and distinctive? Then a night or two at the unique Whitepod in the Swiss Alps might be just your thing. Not a hotel in any traditional sense, accommodation consists of a series of pods, modelled on the shape of traditional igloos, and pitched on raised wooden platforms. Part of an innovative eco camp, they can house just twenty guests at any one time, making for a relaxed and unforgettable break, surrounded by some of the most stunning mountain scenery in the world.
Accommodation is comfortable but simple; what you’re paying for here is tranquillity and unparalleled views – just you, your loved ones and pristine whiteness for as far as the eye can see. Meals are served in the nearby Alpine Chalet and the friendly management are happily to arrange various snow-related activities for their guests - snow-shoeing, ice climbing, dog sledging are all popular options.
