wonderful short breaks white pod : swiss alps

accommodation

The camp consists of twelve pods, modelled on a traditional igloo shape, and pitched on raised wooden platforms.

The pods have been designed with two main concerns in mind: impact on the environment to be minimised and comfort of guests to be maximised.

For the environment - Covered with white canvas in the winter and green in the summer, the pods blend perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Pitched on a raised wooden platform, they have little contact with the grounds so they can be taken down at any time without leaving any trace.

For the guests - Each pod has a private front terrace offering uninterrupted views of the Alps. Wood burning stoves combined with the latest insulation technology keep them comfortably warm, day and night.  In case of a snow storm, the pod frames can withstand a snowfall of 45 lbs/sq ft with winds of up to 130 mph.

There are three types of pods - six Expedition Pods, four Canopy Pods and two Pavilion Pods.
