My wife and I stayed here for one night during our vacation in Switzerland, and we’re glad we did. It was a unique experience - we enjoyed the view from the terrace, the sound of the cow bells, and the pod itself, which was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff was very nice, and the breakfast was delicious - the best we experienced (of 5 Swiss hotels). Be prepared for a 15-minute uphill hike if you’re in a pod.

Wouldn't call it "luxury"

Don't get me wrong this place was nice and it was a very unique experience, but I wouldn't say it is a "luxury hotel". The views were nice, the staff were really friendly, the pods are cool, and the food was great, but I can name a number of things that could do with improvement and that don't make this place what I would call luxurious: - The pods are a 15min walk from reception all uphill and they don't offer any other means to get you there. - There aren't any formal pathways, just mud tracks. - There aren't any lights to help navigate your way from reception/restaurant to the pods. They give you head torches. - The 'spa' consists of a tiny sauna and bath both outdoors. - You can't control the temperature of your pod. This has to be done by calling reception for them to turn this up/down/on/off (we asked for the aircon to be turned off several times, but it never was and we gave up in the end). - There's no Wi-Fi in the pods.

Le dépaysement tout en confort

Dépaysant et luxe à la fois. La combinaison parfaite de la nature et du confort. La petite marche avant d’accéder au pod donne un côté bucolique à l’expérience. Les profs sont chauds et confortables et surtout l’intimité est présente lorsque l’on est dedans. Goûter et petit déjeuner très bon avec une cuisine maison et un service familiale. On s’y sent bien! Nous recommandons pleinement aussi bien pour une sortie romantique que pour quelques jours en famille!

Schöne Iglus aber eher zu teuer

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, Restaurant o.k. (Eher kleine Portionen), Pod sehr schön eingerichtet und Temperatur individuell einstellbar per Pod mit Pellet-Ofen, 2x Ladestationen für Tesla und 1x Typ2 kostenlos (sehr gut!). Ca. 15 Minuten hang rauf zu Fuss bis zu den Iglus und dem Frühstückschalet. Reinigungsdame stand am Abreisetag punkt 11Uhr vor dem Chalet und klopfte an die Eingangsblache (keine Türen, nur Plastikblache mit grossem Reiseverschluss). Preis/Leistung nicht optimal (eher zu teuer).

Belle découverte!

Très belle découverte! Les pods sont chauffées au poêle. Chambre très confortable. Petit hic, le personnel est venu plusieurs fois nous déranger pour venir faire la chambre alors que nous avions fait une demande pour un late check-out. Mais sinon nous aovns passé un merveilleux séjour.

This was one of the most exceptional experiences I have ever had. The drive up the mountain was a bit nerve wracking, however, the setting was surreal. The accommodations were clean, rustic elegance. The view was sublime and the food was exquisite. There are many, many summer and winter activities to participate in. This place is worth traveling across the ocean to stay at!

Hope to come back!

My trip to Whitepod was in April, which isn’t the most ideal time of year to come. The reason being that April is caught between seasons as winter activities have come to a close while spring/summer hasn’t quite kicked off yet. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Whitepod! The staff was great and went out of their way on numerous occasions to ensure I had a pleasant stay. I hope to come back and bring my girlfriend along with me.
