MotelsAre you looking for unique accommodation, original and funny in the Alps?, What do you look like a night in a real igloo, with melted cheese, mulled wine and a jacucci under the stars?. For over ten years, the company Iglu-Dorf GmbH, a company based in Stanssad, Switzerland, has made accommodations in an igloo in the alpine mountains of Switzerland and Germany. Now, for the 2008-2009 seasons, the company has opened its accommodation in Andorra.
These igloos are not just a building made with bricks of ice, but are also a set of hallways and dining area, bedroom and bathroom. The dining tables are wooden and the chairs are covered with ice floes sheepskin beige. These accommodations require a large construction effort.
Every night, these places offer a range of activities including a trip to see the sunset, board games or snowshoe, or dive into an outdoor jacucci. Breakfast and dinner are included in the room. Dinner consists of a rich gruyere cheese fondue or spaghetti for the kids, while breakfast is a typical German, with crusty rolls and fruit.
This type of accommodation we can find in Switzerland, Germany and Andorra. In Switzerland we will see in Davos-Klosters, near the town of Davos, Engelberg, the largest igloo in Switzerland, Gstaad, offering special packages very interesting, and Zermatt. In Germany, these accommodations are in the town of Zugspitze mountain right in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the highest in the country. While in Andorra are in Grandvalira.
The rooms are divided Igloo standard, one bedroom which can sleep up to six people and consists of mattresses, sleeping bags, thermal, sauna, dinner, breakfast and welcome drink. The Romantic Igloo offers the same as the standard, but in this case the bedroom is for two and a prosecco welcome. The Romantic Igloo Plus, in addition to the above advantages, it offers a private bathroom. And finally, The Romantic Igloo Suite offers a private sauna with jacucci.
Prices are based on room type, age of the clients and the day of the week. Monday to Thursday, for example, are cheaper than weekends. The opening dates depend on weather.
