Overnight stay in a Romantic Igloo in Zermatt

You meet your guide at the Rotenboden mountain station. From there, you walk about 15 minutes, partly steeply, down the mountain to the igloo village.

You'll spend a romantic night in an igloo and will also be pampered culinary-wise. The igloo village Zermatt is located right in the ski area of Rotenboden and close to the Gornergrat.

After a guided night snowshoe tour, you have the opportunity to warm up in a hot tub and sauna.

Inside the igloo, it's constantly around freezing temperatures. However, there’s a heated kota available as a lounge area. The igloo is decorated with snow and ice art. Throughout your stay at the igloo village, you'll be taken care of by the igloo guides.

The sunrise over the Matterhorn is an unforgettable sight. If you get up early in the morning, you can enjoy the play of colors in the sky and the first rays of sunlight on the mountains.
