Standing 1,250 meters above sea level in the heart of the Swiss Alps, the Whitepod Hotel allows you to enjoy seclusion from the busy atmosphere that often accompanies mountain destination resorts. This eco-luxury hotel has 15 one-room, snow globe-inspired pods and 21 wooden eco-chalets. With two starkly different accommodation options, Whitepod is perfect for both romantic getaways and families with young children. The hotel’s mission is to provide its guests with the experience of total relaxation, a time to get away from the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with their senses.

Regardless of whether a guest chooses a wooden chalet or a capsule at Whitepod, they will enjoy an eco-friendly stay. The pods are built using an architectural format called the “geodesic dome,” which is a pod-shaped structure built with an interconnected system of triangles. This building strategy creates a durable structure while using the minimal amount of materials. Pods are also highly energy efficient, requiring 30% less energy to be heated or cooled than a standard building. As for the wooden chalets, they are built exclusively by local craftsmen using local larch wood, highlighting Whitepod’s involvement with the local community and environment. Their devotion to sustainable luxury has been recognized by Swisstainable, Switzerland’s national sustainability classification system for Swiss tourism. Whitepod Hotel is classified as level 3, the highest tier of sustainable Swiss destinations. 

The Hotel features an array of activities both on and off the resort. A guest may enjoy a long day of skiing on Whitepod’s private slopes, warm up by their own pod fireplace, or treat themselves to a soul-renewing massage offered in the hotel spa. Experience a full, aerial overview of the massive mountains and detailed landscapes by taking a paragliding trip over the valley, a dog-sled tour to the top of the mountains, or simply relaxing on your own private terrace, sipping locally produced wine. Fill your lungs with the crisp mountain air as you indulge in local food and wine provided in Whitepod’s restaurant. If you feel like staying in, take advantage of the convenient pod service and eat a delicious homemade meal in the privacy of your own pod. During the summer, take complete advantage of the mountain sunshine, order a picnic basket, and venture to the top of the mountain; the view of the surroundings and untouched nature is the perfect way to recharge.
