Activities - Sleep in an Igloo
It's built every year in December when the snow arrives and stays there until April.
There are a series of igloos built in the classic eskimo way to conserve heat inside.
In the daytime you can take the telemix up to the plateau and walk to the village for a bit of an explore. There is also sledging nearby and sometimes the odd snow sculpture appears! Nearby is a chalet restaurant serving food and drinks when you need a bit of refreshment!
If you want more of an adventure, why not spend the night in one of the igloos! Read about Elliot, age 9's igloo experience. To do this you take the last lift up to the plateau and wait for everyone else to leave.
The people who run the igloos will take you on a short stroll to watch the sunset which is a magnificent spectacle, made all the more special by having it all to yourselves!
After that you eat a hearty three course dinner in the restaurant before going out to sleep in your igloo!
Each igloo sleeps four people (it's very cosy!) and has a special insulated matress with warm sleeping bags suitable for the cold night time temperatures. They are lit with candles inside, which against the snow create a rather unique and quite romantic atmosphere!
It's worth bringing a head torch and warm clothes including hat to sleep in, especially if you feel the cold.
In the morning you are woken up with hot drinks and brekkie!
If you would like to experience a night in an igloo as a part of your winter holiday or would like to know more about it, please let us know when you make your enquiry
