Experience a night in an Igloo



If you are looking for original and exciting experiences during your ski vacation, here is one of them. For a romantic night or a unique moment shared with friends, bring a warm sleeping bag and come discover your minimal Inuit home made up of snow and blocks of ice. At 2000-2300 meters high, your room won’t be warmer than 3°C but you will wake up in the middle of an immaculate white landcape and feel very far away from the agitated ski resort down in the valley. Don’t wait and go enjoy the quiet and untouched magnificence of the mountain. A restaurant is usually set nearby the igloo village for dinner and breakfast.
