Whitepod
Les Cerniers, Switzerland
Award winning camp, consisting of nine pods high above Villars in Switzerland, which houses only 20 guests. Shuddering at the memories of childhood camping trips? There’s nothing childish about this “eco-resort”; at an altitude of 1400m, you’ll feel like your living among the clouds. Love the décor: petrol lamps, linens, beds, and assorted animal skins adorning the floor. Don’t worry about your carbon footprint: guests are permitted to take only one shower per day, most of the food served is locally grown and the furniture is second-hand. But the restaurant and spa rival any hotel. Plus, you’re right in the heart of the action: snowshoeing, off-piste skiing, and heli-skiing, are all available, without the crowded ski-lift. Don’t worry about the cold, with the wood burning stove and hi-tech insulation you’ll have everything you need to keep you warm all night long. Rates vary, please contact resort for more information.

We stayed here Dec 07 for three nights, loved every minute of it, from the journey on the train, to the pods, the food, scenery and activities (skiing, snow shoeing and dog sledging). It was an amazing experience!
