Stay in an Igloo

In case you’re a new reader, or maybe because you just don’t have a good feel for my personality yet, I want to point out that I’m a warm weather kind of gal.  You will likely find this preference to be a continuing theme in my writing.

Oh sure, I think snow and ice are beautiful, providing a magical kind of feel to everything.  But it’s a feeling best experienced (by me at least) from the comfort and warmth of indoors looking out.

Another of my “endearing” personality traits is curiosity.  I like checking things out for myself, trying new places and things, and exploring and learning.

It can only be that latter trait that explains my interest in an igloo hotel.  That as well as the fact that I want to go to Europe, and that’s where these hotels are.

Right now, it’s just a lot of pristine snow, but on December 24th it will be an igloo village resort.  Five igloo village resorts will be built across Europe:  Engelberg, Gstaad, Zermatt, Zugspritze, and St. Moritz.  Each igloo village will have igloo hotels, igloo bars, as well as saunas and hot tubs.

The villages provide easy access to the ski slopes, but also feature a variety of organized social events.  You can try your hand at building your own igloo, go on a snowshoe walking tour, watch a movie, or just hang out at the ultimate ice bar.

Igloo stays can be booked through Hostel Bookers.

I know that I have lots of readers, as well as friends, in Europe, so PLEASE ““ someone check this out and let me know what it’s like!!!
