IGLOO HOTEL SWITZERLAND
Sleep in a real igloo in Switzerland: Iglu-Dorf in Davos Klosters, Gstaad and Zermatt
Every December Iglu-Dorf builds snow villages high above Davos Klosters, Gstaad and Zermatt — real igloos at 1,900–2,700 m with a bottomless cheese fondue, an outdoor whirlpool and sauna, a night walk and breakfast all included. We are their affiliate partner: book directly on iglu-dorf.com with the code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 and pay 5% less on Sunday-to-Thursday nights from 4 January to 4 April 2027.

Not valid on Friday and Saturday nights, over Christmas/New Year, or in the Plus igloos, Innsbruck or Zugspitze.
Why we chose Iglu-Dorf
- The original: igloo villages built every winter since 1995/96, about 3,000 working hours per village, a patented method and a Guinness World Record
- Everything is included: welcome aperitif, guided igloo tour, all-you-can-eat Swiss cheese fondue, whirlpool and sauna time, night or snowshoe walk, expedition sleeping bag, morning tea in bed and breakfast
- Same price in all three Swiss villages — choose by mountain, not by budget: Matterhorn views in Zermatt, the biggest village in Davos, the lowest and most family-friendly in Gstaad
- Honest about the hard parts: about 0 °C inside, shared dry toilets, one night recommended — and a heated TinyLodge in Gstaad for anyone unsure
- Free cancellation up to 60 days before your night; cards accepted on site; dogs welcome on request
The igloos (and the warm cabin)

TinyLodge · Gstaad · sleeps 2 · heated cabin

Which nights does the code work?
Sunday to Thursday nights · 4 Jan – 4 Apr 2027
Not Friday or Saturday nights
After 3 January the Davos and Zermatt hotels are closed Monday to Wednesday and Gstaad Tuesday and Wednesday, so in practice the code nights are Sunday and Thursday (Gstaad also Monday). The live calendar shows which nights are open.
Davos Klosters, Gstaad or Zermatt?
Same programme, same prices — choose the mountain
Zermatt for the view, Gstaad for families, Davos for space
Zermatt is the postcard and books out first; Gstaad is the lowest, has the TinyLodge and suits younger children; Davos Klosters is the biggest village in the Parsenn ski area.
