TinyLodge — Gstaad — Gstaad
Romantic igloos for two, Family & Friends igloos for 3–6 and the Tiny Lodge in Gstaad. Stays 4 Jan – 4 Apr 2027, Sunday to Thursday nights.
What the TinyLodge is
Iglu-Dorf introduced the TinyLodge in Gstaad for its 30th-anniversary season. It is an angular wooden cabin standing in the snow, with a heater, a panoramic window and a bed with blankets and pillows. You use the village restrooms, as in the igloos. We cannot find any statement of its size beyond the bed, so we do not give one.
One caution: Iglu-Dorf’s TinyLodge page includes wording about the cabin being “available again from next winter”, while its booking finder lists it with a price now. Confirm it is open for 2026/27 when you book.
What is included
The programme is the same village evening: guided tour, Swiss cheese fondue in the igloo restaurant, a snowshoe walk, sauna and outdoor whirlpool, and breakfast in the warm kota next morning. A kettle with free tea and coffee is in the cabin. Not included: tickets, visitor’s tax and extra food and drinks.

Romantic Igloo — Gstaad5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is the real igloo in the same village; the TinyLodge is the gentler version.
Why Gstaad is a good village for it
Gstaad is the lowest of the three villages, about 1,900 m under Saanerslochgrat. Check-in is at 4:30 pm at a bar in the village with an aperitif, then train to Saanenmöser and cable car to the top, with a five-to-seven-minute walk. Cable cars run in regular ski hours only; your skis can come along. See our Gstaad guide.

Who it suits
Couples who like the idea but not the cold, pregnant guests (Iglu-Dorf suggests lower villages like Gstaad), people with sleep worries, and anyone planning a gentle winter break. It is for two only — families should look at the Family & Friends Igloo.
What you give up
The full snow-igloo night: no sleeping bag in the snow, no sheepskin bed. If that is what you came for, book the igloo. See also is an igloo night worth it?
When the code works for Gstaad
Our code covers stays from 4 January to 4 April 2027, Sunday to Thursday nights only. Iglu-Dorf lists Gstaad as closed on Tuesday and Wednesday after 3 January, so for Gstaad the practical nights are Sunday, Monday and Thursday — the live calendar shows exactly which nights are open. Friday and Saturday are not covered.
How to book your igloo night with HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5
The TinyLodge books like an igloo. There are no special links or tracking cookies in this partnership. The code typed at checkout is the only thing that gives you the 5% and registers the booking as ours, so this is the one step not to skip.
- Choose village and igloo. Use the links in this guide, or start at Iglu-Dorf5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 and pick Davos Klosters, Gstaad or Zermatt, then Romantic Igloo, Family & Friends Igloo or (Gstaad only) TinyLodge.
- Add your guests first (adults 16+, teenagers 10–15, children up to 9) — the date calendar only appears after that. Pick a Sunday-to-Thursday night between 4 January and 4 April 2027. In practice that means Sunday and Thursday nights (Gstaad also Monday) — the live calendar on iglu-dorf.com shows exactly which nights are open.
- Fill in guest details and extras — single sleeping bags instead of a double, a dog, the vegetarian dinner alternative, a rose in ice.
- Scroll to “Promo-Code — Do you want to redeem a promo code?”, type HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, press Add and check that the total has dropped by 5% before you confirm. The field above it, “Voucher”, is for gift vouchers, not for our code.
- Confirm. You can cancel free of charge up to 60 days before the night; after that Iglu-Dorf charges 10% (59–30 days), 50% (29–7 days) and 100% (under 7 days or no-show), with refunds preferably as vouchers. Discounts are not cumulative.
For the Zermatt Family & Friends Igloo, send the request to info@iglu-dorf.com or call +41 41 612 27 28 and write the code in your message. Full transparency: we are Iglu-Dorf’s affiliate partner and earn a small commission when you book with our code. It costs you nothing extra — you pay 5% less.
