    Ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a bed made of snow? A hotel chain in the Alps allows guests to do just that - while staying surprisingly warm.
    Each winter, Iglu-Dorf rebuilds five alpine retreats entirely from snow and ice, creating a magical setting deep in the mountains. The interiors may be frozen, with temperatures hovering between -2°C and +2°C, but the experience is anything but chilly. Guests are wrapped in expedition-grade sleeping bags rated for -40°C, with thermal mats, electric lighting, and USB ports ensuring a blend of adventure and comfort.
    For those needing an extra dose of warmth, there’s even an outdoor whirlpool.
    The igloo villages are spread across Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, with locations in Davos, Gstaad, Zermatt, Innsbruck, and Zugspitze. Each site is linked by a system of corridors shielding guests from the elements, and the structures are so solid that even a snow groomer could drive over them without causing damage.
    Beyond their practicality, the igloos are visually stunning, with walls adorned in detailed ice carvings by international artists. Guests can choose from standard ‘classic’ igloos tucked away in the snow or indulge in a luxury suite featuring a private whirlpool, Champagne service, and an en-suite toilet. Whichever option they pick, morning tea is delivered right to their sleeping bag.
    The villages offer more than just a place to sleep. Restaurants and bars serve up steaming mulled wine, fresh fondue, and snacks, while saunas and traditional wooden ‘kotas’ with open fires add to the cosy ambience at select locations. But there is one thing to note - there are no showers on-site.
    For those craving adventure, Iglu-Dorf provides plenty of activities, from skiing and snowshoeing to a mystery igloo challenge, where teams solve clues hidden around the village.
    Rates start at around £475/$600 per night.

    Ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a bed made of snow? A hotel chain in the Alps allows guests to do just that - while staying surprisingly warm.
    Each winter, Iglu-Dorf rebuilds five alpine retreats entirely from snow and ice, creating a magical setting deep in the mountains. The interiors may be frozen, with temperatures hovering between -2°C and +2°C, but the experience is anything but chilly. Guests are wrapped in expedition-grade sleeping bags rated for -40°C, with thermal mats, electric lighting, and USB ports ensuring a blend of adventure and comfort.
    For those needing an extra dose of warmth, there’s even an outdoor whirlpool.
    The igloo villages are spread across Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, with locations in Davos, Gstaad, Zermatt, Innsbruck, and Zugspitze. Each site is linked by a system of corridors shielding guests from the elements, and the structures are so solid that even a snow groomer could drive over them without causing damage.
    Beyond their practicality, the igloos are visually stunning, with walls adorned in detailed ice carvings by international artists. Guests can choose from standard ‘classic’ igloos tucked away in the snow or indulge in a luxury suite featuring a private whirlpool, Champagne service, and an en-suite toilet. Whichever option they pick, morning tea is delivered right to their sleeping bag.
    The villages offer more than just a place to sleep. Restaurants and bars serve up steaming mulled wine, fresh fondue, and snacks, while saunas and traditional wooden ‘kotas’ with open fires add to the cosy ambience at select locations. But there is one thing to note - there are no showers on-site.

    Check in, chill out! Stunning igloo hotel opens with private pools, mountain saunas and candle-lit suites ... but no running water

    Every winter, this hotel is carved out of the surrounding snow, with igloo rooms, romantic suites and even an outdoor whirlpool for the bravest guests.

    Iglu-Dorf hotel is rebuilt every season from 3,000 tons of snow at six locations from the Alps to the Pyrenees.

    The Swiss igloos, constructed in the Bernese Oberland and surrounded by 9,000ft mountain peaks, comes with artworks carved into the walls by artists from around the world, candle-lit suites for romantic guests and even saunas among the mountains.
    Open from Christmas Day to April, each villages sleeps up to 38 guests, cocooning them in cosy sleeping bags on thick sheepskin rugs, designed to withstand temperatures of minus 40C.

    And in the morning, thereÕs an enormous buffet of croissants, cooked meats, pastries, cereals, cheese and coffee.

    The cost for one in a standard Iglu-Dorf igloo is 99euros (£68) from Monday to Thursday and 115 euros from Friday to Sunday.

    A tour around the Gstaad site shows the great diversity of works in rooms and common areas of the unique accommodation from traditional Inuit works to artists from Switzerland and much further abroad.

    Artists armed with no more than an ice pick, motorised saw and shovel, produce life-like animals such as seals, arctic wolves, polar bears and whales, eye-catching designs and patterns, or even super heroes.

    It's an elaborate and classy scene compared to the basic igloo Gunter first constructed with friends on a mountain in a bid to be first on the slopes in the morning.

    The company says 99 per cent of their guests stay one night only.

    'We don't generally recommend [more than one night] as we neither have running water, nor showers,' the company says.

    Each village caters for 38 guests a night, all of who bed down on a thick sheepskin rug in cosy sleeping bags equipped for minus-40 deg
