Whitepod

For a Swiss Alps experience that’s a step up from evenings cozied up in a traditional wood chalet, consider Whitepod. In this boutique “glampsite” most guests spend the night in energy-efficient, low-impact geodesic pods, all set on a serene stretch of land with 25 km of private hiking trails. A stay at Whitepod isn’t exactly roughing it. All pods have electricity, are heated, hold a fully fitted bathroom, and come with a range of upscale (and sometimes quirky) features like saunas, Japanese furo baths, iPad Pros equipped with Netflix, and even indoor hammocks. While the pods are located a 15-minute walk from the reception building, breakfast can also be served in bed.
