This guide is built from Iglu-Dorf’s own pages, prices and conditions — what is included, how the villages work and what each igloo is like come straight from the operator, never invented.

Davos Klosters: the biggest igloo village

Iglu-Dorf Davos Klosters sits below the Weissfluhjoch station near the Schifer/Totalp junction on the Parsenn, at about 2,500 m by Iglu-Dorf’s FAQ (its village page says 2,570 m). It is the largest of the Swiss villages: 14 overnight igloos and up to 46 overnight guests, plus an igloo restaurant with carved arches and sheepskin seats. The 2026/27 season runs from 26 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.

The Romantic Igloo is the two-person room: a snow igloo about four metres across with a snow bed, thermal mats, mattresses and real sheepskins, a double cotton sleeping-bag liner and an expedition sleeping bag, a light, USB power and snow art. Each winter the village is rebuilt, so the sculptures differ from the photos — Iglu-Dorf says photos may be from previous seasons.

We would choose Davos for couples who ski or snowboard the Parsenn, or who simply like a high, big-sky setting and a lively evening with more guests around. If you want the quietest, smallest atmosphere, Zermatt and Gstaad are smaller.

Getting there and the evening

Iglu-Dorf’s Davos arrival notes are precise: the meeting point is the Panoramarestaurant Weissfluhjoch at 4:00 pm, reached by the Parsennbahn (you change at the Höhenweg middle station). Guests do not walk up alone; you travel to the meeting point at the set time and are guided from there. The walk from the lift is about 20 minutes for day guests, in snow, so a backpack is ideal and wheeled suitcases are not suitable. Extra luggage can stay at the village at your own risk — there are no lockers.

Cable car and train tickets are not included in the igloo price unless the arrival information says so, so budget for them or use a valid lift pass.

The evening itself follows the Iglu-Dorf pattern: welcome drink and aperitif tray, igloo tour, a night walk or snowshoeing, and the all-you-can-eat Swiss cheese fondue (lactose-free, less than 0.1% alcohol; a vegetable stew is the alternative on request when booking). Drinks beyond that are ordered on site and settled by card or cash.

Hot tub, sauna and kota

The wellness part is what makes the cold bearable. Davos has a mixed sauna and an outdoor hot tub, reserved for overnight guests in the evening, with a private time slot per igloo agreed on arrival. Bring a bath towel, swimwear and flip-flops. Next to the igloos there is a heated kota, a wooden warm room where groups eat and where you can thaw before bed.

The honest limit: Iglu-Dorf’s FAQ says Davos has no running water or showers, and the dry toilets are shared in the village centre (you can brush your teeth there and hand sanitiser is provided). Couples who want to wash in the morning should know this before booking. If you need a shower, Gstaad and Zermatt have them — we compare the three in our best-village comparison.

A night in the Romantic Igloo: sleep and cold

Inside the igloos the temperature stays steady at roughly −2 to +2 °C, which is why the expedition sleeping bag is the star. Wear dry thermals, socks and a hat and leave day clothes outside the bag. Fleece blankets are available on request. By default the Romantic Igloo comes with a double sleeping bag; two single bags are available on request free of charge.

Morning starts with tea served to the sleeping bag in some villages, but in Davos the notes say breakfast is at 8:30 am at the mountain restaurant and is served until 10:00 am. There is no stated check-out time; you leave individually after breakfast. This slow, unforced morning is, in our view, the best part for couples — the lifts open, the slopes are empty and you already have your day.

Making a day of it: skiing the Parsenn

We cannot tell you exact lift times or ticket prices — those are not in the sources we trust — but the logic is easy. Check in at 4:00 pm means you can ski until the late afternoon if you hold a lift pass and carry only a small bag. Heavier luggage is the real problem because there are no lockers at the village; leave extra bags in your hotel in Davos or Klosters and bring a backpack.

Non-skiers do fine too: the igloo night itself, the snowshoe walk and the village are the programme. We wrote about this in what to do around your igloo night in Davos Klosters. For the full three-village overview, see our igloo hotel guide.

Which nights the code works in Davos

Our code covers stays from 4 January to 4 April 2027, Sunday to Thursday nights only — no Friday or Saturday nights and nothing over Christmas or New Year. After 3 January the Davos hotel is closed Monday to Wednesday, which in practice leaves Sunday and Thursday nights as the code nights. The live calendar on iglu-dorf.com shows exactly which dates are open; if a date is not offered, it cannot be booked.

Iglu-Dorf says weekends and holidays sell out fast, so a Sunday or Thursday night is also the easier one to get. Thursday is a good choice if you want to continue to a weekend in the mountains afterwards.

Is it right for the two of you?

It is right if you like winter, can walk about 20 minutes on a snow path with a backpack, and are fine with 0 °C and shared dry toilets. It is not right if you need a private bathroom at night, cannot walk on snow, or are travelling only on Friday or Saturday — the code will not apply then. Iglu-Dorf also says the Davos village is not suitable for wheelchairs or limited mobility.

Pregnant guests: Iglu-Dorf says it is possible in principle but suggests the lower villages (Gstaad, Kühtai) — Davos is the higher one. Only one night is recommended; there is no running water or warm room inside the igloo.

How to book your igloo night with HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5

Bookings are tracked by the code only — there is no special tracking link — so the code is the only way your 5% and our small commission get registered. We are Iglu-Dorf’s affiliate partner; it costs you nothing extra. Here is the whole process, in order.

1. Pick the village and igloo. Choose the Romantic Igloo in Davos Klosters for two. Open Romantic Igloo — Davos Klosters5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5.
2. Open Iglu-Dorf’s own booking page (the link above, directly on iglu-dorf.com) and add your guests. The date calendar appears after that.
3. Choose a night between 4 January and 4 April 2027, Sunday to Thursday. In practice that means Sunday and Thursday nights in Davos Klosters — the hotel is closed Monday to Wednesday after 3 January. The live calendar shows exactly which nights are open — if a date is not offered, it is not bookable.
4. Scroll down the checkout page. You will see two boxes: “Voucher” and “Promo-Code”. Use the Promo-Code box, type HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, press Add and check that the 5% reduction appears before you confirm. (Not the Voucher box — that one is for gift vouchers.)
5. Fill in guest details, pay as the checkout asks and confirm. Cancellation is free up to 60 days before the stay; after that Iglu-Dorf’s staggered fees apply (10%, 50%, then 100% inside the last week), so a travel insurance is worth a thought.

Our Honest Final Word

We have researched it carefully rather than slept there, and chose Iglu-Dorf as a partner because the conditions are published plainly.
