사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- 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
한눈에 보기: It is an expensive, freezing cold camping trip with better cheese and no shower.
@clahuynh님의 리뷰: 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!

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
청결 & 유지관리
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.

자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
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.
내부자 팁
- ✨
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.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡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.
