Most people who search for an igloo night in Davos Klosters are also planning a winter break there, so this guide treats the igloo as the highlight of a short trip rather than the whole thing. Facts about the village come from Iglu-Dorf; what we say about the resort is general knowledge, hedged, with no opening hours or prices. For all villages see our igloo hotel Switzerland guide.

Davos Klosters in winter, in short

Davos Klosters is a large ski area in the Graubünden canton of eastern Switzerland, with a town at its centre and the quieter village of Klosters on the other side of the mountain. It is known for winter sports and for a long season. Iglu-Dorf’s village sits at about 2,500 m, below the Weissfluhjoch station near the Schifer/Totalp junction, and is the biggest of the three Swiss villages with 14 overnight igloos and up to 46 overnight guests.

Even if you do not ski, there is a lot to do: walking trails, sledging, winter hiking and the mountain restaurants. We will not name prices or opening hours here because they change.

Day one: getting to the igloo

Your meeting time is 4:00 pm at the Panoramarestaurant Weissfluhjoch. You ride the Parsennbahn, changing at the Höhenweg middle station. The cableway timetable decides everything, and Iglu-Dorf says overnight guests are never allowed to walk to the village alone. After the lifts stop, there is no way up.

A good rhythm: arrive in Davos in the morning, leave your large luggage at your hotel or a station locker in the valley (there are no lockers at the igloo village), have lunch, then go up with a backpack. If you ski, you can combine a morning on the slopes with the afternoon ride; ask Iglu-Dorf about gear on the day.

The night in the village

The programme is the same as in the other villages: welcome drink, an igloo tour, a fondue dinner in the igloo restaurant or the heated kota, a private hot-tub and sauna slot, and an optional night walk. The temperature inside the igloo stays between about −2 and +2 °C, and toilets are shared dry toilets, with no showers in Davos according to Iglu-Dorf’s FAQ.

In Davos the fondue alternative, if you ask when booking, is a vegetable stew. Other drinks are ordered on the spot, and the village accepts cards.

Day two: breakfast and the slopes

Breakfast is at the mountain restaurant from 8:30 to 10:00 am. From there you can head straight onto the Parsenn slopes if you ski, or ride down and spend the day in the valley. Iglu-Dorf lists no check-out time, and departures are individual after breakfast, so you do not have to rush.

• If you ski: carry only a small bag the night before; skis and boots can be a hassle in the village, so ask Iglu-Dorf what is possible.
• If you do not ski: take the train down, enjoy a long lunch and a walk by the lake, or try a sledge run.
• With children: a short sledge ride or snow play fits well after an early night.

A two-night shape that works

Iglu-Dorf recommends one night only in the igloo, so use the other nights in a valley hotel. You can spend Sunday night in the igloo and Monday in town, or a Thursday in the snow and a Friday on skis — all inside the code’s window.

Which igloo to choose in Davos

Couples should look at the Romantic Igloo — Davos Klosters5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, from CHF 538 per night for two. Families and friends with children aged six and above should consider the Family & Friends Igloo — Davos Klosters5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, from CHF 627 for three people, up to six in total. Both include dinner, wellness and breakfast. Compare with Gstaad if you want showers and running water, which Davos does not offer according to Iglu-Dorf’s FAQ.

When to go and what our code covers

The Davos village runs from 26 December 2026 to 4 April 2027. HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is valid for stays from 4 January to 4 April 2027, Sunday to Thursday nights only. After 3 January the Davos hotel is closed Monday to Wednesday, which in practice leaves Sunday and Thursday nights — check the live calendar on iglu-dorf.com for exact availability.

Remember that Friday and Saturday are at the public price and that holidays fill quickly, so book your nights early.

A pre-trip checklist for Davos

• Book the igloo first, then the valley hotel around it, since the open nights are limited to Sunday and Thursday.
• Read the arrival PDF Iglu-Dorf sends after booking; it contains the exact meeting point and safety instructions.
• Buy your lift tickets for the Parsennbahn ride unless a ski pass covers it; cableway tickets are not included in the igloo price.
• Pack one backpack with swimwear, towel, flip-flops, headlamp, two hats, dry socks and thermal underwear.
• Leave the suitcase at your hotel; there are no lockers at the igloo village.
• Add the vegetable stew at booking if you do not eat cheese.
• Keep your phone charged and note Iglu-Dorf’s booking office number from your confirmation in case you are running late.

None of this is hard, but arriving at 3:55 pm with a wheeled suitcase and no gloves is how a lovely night starts badly.

Beyond skiing: easy winter days around Davos Klosters

Not everyone in your group needs to ski. Winter walking paths, sledging runs, mountain restaurants and the town itself give plenty to do, and we have kept this section general because opening hours and prices change by week. The same goes for Klosters, the calmer village on the other side of the ski area, which is a natural base if you want a quieter stay than the town of Davos.

If the igloo is the plan and snow sports are not, a relaxed shape is: valley hotel the night before, a slow morning, a late lunch at a mountain restaurant near Weissfluhjoch before the 4:00 pm meeting, the igloo night, a long breakfast, then a train back down. That keeps your bag small, your walking short and your expectations realistic.

Davos, Gstaad or Zermatt for your first igloo night?

If you are choosing between our three villages, the honest summary is: Davos Klosters is the biggest and most mountain-resort in character; Zermatt has the Matterhorn and the smallest guest capacity; Gstaad is the lowest, with running water and the shortest walk. The prices are the same, from CHF 538 for the Romantic Igloo and from CHF 627 for the Family & Friends Igloo.

Choose Davos if you already plan to ski the Parsenn area, if you want the largest village, or if you like a long evening walk. Choose another village if you need showers or running water, or if the walk from the lift is a concern. You can compare all three in our igloo guide.
