Whitepod Swiss Alpine Eco-Escape

by TreeHugger on 11. 2.04
Travel & Nature (eco-travel)

whitepod_sm.jpgHigh in the Swiss Alps is a heavenly retreat for those don’t mind self-propelling themselves to get there—the zero-impact dome camps are accessible only on skis or snowshoes. Five portable pods set up on platforms accommodate 10 guests, and the shelters are removed in spring. Luxurious comfort and beautiful scenery are complemented by the wood-burning stoves and solar and rechargeable energy that heats and powers these eco-retreats. They even use Ecover natural cleaning products to clean up after they’ve stuffed you with fresh local and organic meals. No cars. No buses. No tourists. Talk about a breath of fresh air. Via MetaEfficient. £220/person/night, two-night minimum. Group rates also available. ::Whitepod
