Stayed for 4 nights in March with my new wife. The Location You really feel like you are somewhere special. I was expecting a little difficulty in reaching the camp but it was actually very easy to just catch a train to Monthey and take a taxi up (CHF 60 one way). A one way transfer to/from Aigle Station was... More

Incredible place. My wife and I stayed 2 night at Whitepod and were very lucky with the weather and snow conditions. We enjoyed everything: back country skiing on the "private mountain" (powder!!), massages, great food, cosy mini bar area and ... quietness! It didn't even bother my to get up in the middle of the night to add some wood... More

I had wanted to stay in a White Pod for years so was really happy to hear that they were once again going to be open following refurbishment. We got a transfer from Monthey which is fairly priced. If we went again we would consider getting a local taxi to drive us too. Check in was efficient and we were... More

If it wasn't for the inconvenience of waking up at night every three hours to fuel the chimney with more wood (otherwise you will freeze), I would have probably lived there! The staff is super nice, the whole concept is built on trust and respect (typical of traditional mountain lodges I suppose), and all the facilities you need for a... More

We are just back from our night in the Whitepod and we had a fabulous time! The view from inside the pod was absolutely magical and it made reading the paper (we had brought with us) a very memorable experience. We didn't buy any of the activities that were available but it was easy enough to go out on a... More

We stayed here for a birthday and it was Magical! The scenery is breathtaking: an isolated luxury "igloo camp" overlooking the mountains and the valley. The nature around is stunning: forrest, trails, slopes and fields are just what you dream of in the Mountains. The activities available are spot-on: snowshoeing, dog sledging, skiing etc... (downside is the price). The food... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for Christmas day. It was very romantic. The rooms are such a nice and romantic experience. The staff is super welcoming and helpful (specially to us that had no previous experience with this much snow). From our pod we had a beautiful view of the Alps, lake Geneva and the valley.

We spent Christmas at Whitepod in 2011 and it will sit as a very memorable experience. Shame we couldn't ski as it was unsafe at the time, but everything else was terrific. The staff were constantly on the lookout for any issue - such as your fire going out in your pod. We had saved up for the fondues thinking... More
