Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a once-in-a-lifetime 'I slept in an igloo' story and don't mind sacrificing running water to get it.

Γιατί Το Αγαπούν

  • Legitimate bucket-list adventure carved from snow
  • Fondue dinner included in the price (and it's actually good)
  • Dead silence of sleeping inside a snowbank

Γρήγορη Ματιά: It is an expensive, freezing cold camping trip with better cheese and no shower.

Αξιολόγηση από @clahuynh: I spent the night in a literal igloo at 0°C and it was magical! The ice sculptures are insane, and the fondue dinner kept us warm. Don't worry about the cold—the sleeping bags are super toasty. A total bucket list experience!

Ο Επισκέπτης που Έμεινε Εδώ Είπε

The hype

An unforgettable magical experience that everyone is glad they did once, but almost no one wants to do twice.

Reality check

The cold is relentless, and the 8:30 AM departure feels abrupt after a rough night of sleep.

  • You thrive on Type 2 fun (miserable now, great story later)
  • You are a couple looking for a romantic 'survival' bonding experience
  • You love fondue enough to eat it in a freezer

Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση

8
  • Housekeeping: N/A. It's a one-night stay. They change the sleeping bag liners daily.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Dry toilets are kept decent, but it's still a bucket system. No running water means hand sanitizer is your best friend.
  • Maintenance: The structure is rebuilt every year, so it's always 'new' snow.
  • Linens & towels: You get a fresh liner for the sleeping bag. No towels provided (no shower).
  • Odors & scents: Smells like snow, damp wool, and cheese fondue.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές

Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.

Is there really no shower?

Zero. None. You will leave smelling like fondue and woodsmoke.

How cold is it inside?

It stays around 0°C to -2°C. The sleeping bags are rated for polar temps, so your body will be warm, but your nose will be cold.

What happens if I need to pee at 3 AM?

You unzip your warm bag, put on your boots and coat, and walk to the dry toilet shed outside.

Is dinner included?

Yes, a traditional Savoyard fondue dinner and wine are included in the rate.

Can I charge my phone?

Generally no. There are no outlets in the igloos. Bring a battery pack.

Check-in/out times?

Strict. Check-in at 7 PM (meeting at Place Caron), check-out by 8:30 AM.

Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές

  • ✨

    Do not drink too much wine at dinner; the 3 AM toilet run is a nightmare you want to avoid.

  • ✨

    Put your clothes for the next day INSIDE your sleeping bag at the bottom so they are warm when you put them on.

  • ✨

    Keep your phone inside the sleeping bag too, or the battery will die from the cold.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε

  • 💡The 'mattress' is on a block of ice; the cold radiates up if you move off the animal skins.

  • 💡You have to brush your teeth outside in the snow using a water bottle.

  • 💡The walk to the igloo can be slippery; wear proper snow boots with grip.

  • 💡8:30 AM checkout is jarring; you are basically evicted onto the ski slope before the lifts even open.

  • 💡The fondue smell permeates everything you wear.
