The villages are rebuilt from scratch every winter in around 3,000 working hours, and the snow becomes so hard that, as Iglu-Dorf puts it, a snow groomer could drive over it.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/iglu-dorf-gstaad-aerial-view-of-gstaad-igloo-village-on-a-snowy-slope-with-entrance-igloo.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Gstaad igloo village on a snowy slope with entrance igloo, tables and ski runs behind \u2013 Iglu-Dorf, Switzerland\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Aerial view of Gstaad igloo village on a snowy slope with entrance igloo, tables and ski runs behind <span>Photo: Iglu-Dorf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>The first fortnight, until 3 January, is Christmas and New Year pricing territory and is outside our code. From 4 January the code applies on Sunday-to-Thursday nights through the end of the season. In practice the open nights are Sunday and Thursday (Gstaad also Monday), because the hotels are closed on other weekdays after 3 January.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"January_the_deep-winter_month\"><\/span>January: the deep-winter month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>January is the month people imagine when they think igloo: short days, long evenings, the lowest sun and the best chance, in general, of cold conditions that keep the village crisp. The first week after New Year is usually quieter than the holidays, and weekday nights are the calmest. Our code starts on 4 January 2027, which is a Monday, so the first covered nights are Monday the 4th (if open) and then the first Sunday and Thursday nights after that.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/iglu-dorf-gstaad-igloo-entrance-and-snow-mound-at-night-under-full-moon-and-stars.jpg\" alt=\"Igloo entrance and snow mound at night under full moon and stars \u2013 Iglu-Dorf, Switzerland\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Igloo entrance and snow mound at night under full moon and stars <span>Photo: Iglu-Dorf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>What to expect: the longest nights, so more time for the hot tub and the stars (when the sky is clear \u2014 we make no promise).

If you want that date, check the live calendar as early as you can.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/iglu-dorf-gstaad-guests-walking-in-the-dark-with-headlamps-beside-a-lift-pylon-village-lig.jpg\" alt=\"Guests walking in the dark with headlamps beside a lift pylon, village lights in distance \u2013 Iglu-Dorf, Switzerland\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Guests walking in the dark with headlamps beside a lift pylon, village lights in distance <span>Photo: Iglu-Dorf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>February is also a natural time for a family trip combined with skiing, which makes the Family &amp; Friends Igloo the typical choice.

It can be warmer in the day, and spring snow is often softer, but the igloo interior stays between about \u22122 and +2 \u00b0C according to Iglu-Dorf, so you still sleep cold. The village melts away only after the season closes on 4 April.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/iglu-dorf-gstaad-village-at-dusk-orange-sky-over-valley-lights-glowing-igloo-entrance-in-s.jpg\" alt=\"Village at dusk, orange sky over valley lights, glowing igloo entrance in snow \u2013 Iglu-Dorf, Switzerland\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Village at dusk, orange sky over valley lights, glowing igloo entrance in snow <span>Photo: Iglu-Dorf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>March is also the month where leaving it late carries a risk: the last bookable nights are limited, and the code stops at the same date as the stays.

What changes is the walk up and the evening outside.<\/p><ul><li><strong>January:<\/strong> your warmest layers, two hats, thick gloves and a spare pair, because the dusk walk and the hot-tub steps can be properly cold.<\/li><li><strong>February:<\/strong> the same, plus patience: queues at lifts and a busy village are normal.<\/li><li><strong>March:<\/strong> sunglasses, sun cream and ski goggles for the daytime, and a lighter jacket for the ride up, but still the warm evening layers for after dark.<\/li><\/ul><p>In every month, Iglu-Dorf&#8217;s list applies: warm winter shoes, dry socks, thermal underwear or pyjamas, a headlamp or flashlight, swimwear, a towel, flip-flops, a toothbrush. Do not bring a sleeping bag, and leave the wheeled suitcase in the valley.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s7c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_book_for_each_month\"><\/span>When to book for each month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because cancellation is free up to 60 days before the stay, booking early costs little flexibility. A February or Valentine&#8217;s date is the one to secure first; a late-January weeknight is the one you can leave longest. For March, the practical limit is that the open nights are few \u2014 Sundays and Thursdays in Davos and Zermatt, with Gstaad also on Mondays \u2014 so if there is one specific night you care about, check it as soon as the calendar shows it.<\/p><p>If you are travelling from far away, build your trip around the igloo night rather than the other way round, and keep the following day flexible. Travel insurance is recommended in Iglu-Dorf&#8217;s terms, and extreme weather can change plans; the decision is usually made around noon on the day. None of this is unique to one month, but it matters most when you have flown across a continent for one night.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_book_your_igloo_night_with_HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5\"><\/span>How to book your igloo night with HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol><li>Choose your month, village and igloo, then open the booking page \u2014 for example the <a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iglu-dorf.com\/en\/checkout\/accommodation\/gstaad\/romantik-iglu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Romantic Igloo \u2014 Gstaad<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/span>.<\/li><li>Add guests and choose an open Sunday\u2013Thursday night between 4 January and 4 April 2027.<\/li><li>Fill in guest details and extras.<\/li><li>In the <strong>Promo-Code<\/strong> field (not Voucher) type <strong>HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/strong>, press Add and check the 5%.<\/li><li>Confirm.
