Exceptional places to stay in France

bears into an igloo

Did you ever wonder what it feels like sleeping in an igloo? 

Staying in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a silent atmosphere and the stars for sole companion… away from the craziness and buzzing of the big cities. Following the success of tree houses, domes or tipis, igloos are the latest must-do experience. From the French Alps to the Pyrenees, some villages offer a diversity of igloos in all shapes, sizes and styles – from the romantic retreat to spacious igloos, with sculpted and cosy interiors overlooking the mountains.

Igloos are made of snow using Eskimo techniques which makes them perfectly suitable for the Alpine climate and winter conditions. As the snow acts as a thermal insulation, you are completely protected from the cold temperatures outside. Your inside temperature stays close to 0 degrees.

A diversity of activities such as dog sled rides, fatbike, bob raft or Spa treatments are perfect to round off your stay. Bars and restaurants in various ambiances with amazing ice sculptures invite you to experience unique moments after an exciting day in the mountains.
