If staying in igloos is your dream, then give wings to it by visiting Switzerland. Picture this: It's freezing outside, and everywhere your eyes wander is covered with a thick sheath of snow. But you are warm, sitting inside a cosy igloo and slurping on hot cheese fondue. Sounds exciting? Well, you can experience the feeling in Zermatt's famous Iglu-Dorf. Tucked away at 2,727 metres above sea level, this quaint abode offered breathtaking vistas of the Matterhorn (a mountain of the Alps). Recently, a travel vlogger documented her igloo escapade at Iglu-Dorf on Instagram, calling it “a bucket list experience.”

The accommodation made entirely of snow is equipped with sleeping bags. There's also a whirlpool for you to take a steaming bath while watching the towering Matterhorn. Or else, you can simply relax by the fireplace, basking in sheer luxury. According to the vlogger, “indulging in a traditional Swiss fondue” is one of the most wholesome activities here. “And if you're not a fan of the cold, you can also visit the Iglu Dorf during the day at the igloo bar and enjoy a delicious Swiss cheese fondue or white igloo mulled wine,” she adds.
As per Iglu Dorf's official website, the place is open to couples, friend groups, families and solo travellers. You can undertake an adventurous snowshoe trek, take a sauna and relish a scrumptious breakfast in the mountain restaurant. What's more, you can also build an igloo yourself, block by block, under expert guidance.
