Nestled in the charming village of Les Cerniers, surrounded by a blanket of glistening white snow and panoramic mountain views, The Whitepod Resort offers an unconventional and unforgettable experience in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Whitepod is a unique concept designed to be in harmony with the surrounding environment whilst still benefitting from a luxurious and comfortable habitat.
Located at 1700 m of altitude, the resort comprises of 7 km of ski slopes with private ski lifts, 25km of sign posted hiking trail, a mountain lodge on site which can accommodate guests in dormitories and has a traditional Swiss restaurant, and a wooden chalet also offering a restaurant, plus the 15 geodesic-dome pods that can sleep 4 people each.
With the use of the pods (dome shaped tents), pitched on wooden platforms, Whitepod offers low impact accommodation in an untouched and pristine alpine environment. Isolated from all urban pollution, the mountain region lends itself beautifully to such an eco-tourism development. All pods are equipped with wood-burning stoves, organic luxury bedding and full services bathrooms.
At the centre of the 15 pods, stands a charming early 1800s wooden chalet where guests meet for breakfast in the morning or gather in the evening around its wood burning central fireplace for evening drinks and socialising.
There is a resident chef that also provides 2 nightly menus, one with traditionally hearty Swiss mountain food such as Raclette and Fondue, the other with lighter dishes using locally sourced ingredients.
There are a range of mountain activities that are possible from the resort, and the recently built spa guarantees complete relaxation after an active day in the forest or on the ski slopes.
