This place was highly recommended to us as a stop over for lunch on our way back from Gronergrat. The idea of experiencing an igloo village was indeed fascinating. There are websites that claim that the walk is only 10 to 15min from Rotenboden station, so it seemed convenient. Now, let me share our experience. We stopped at Rotenboden station as advised. After the first 2 direction signs, we found ourselves in the middle of the mountain on a closed ski piste. There were 2 other families lost with us. There were no further signs to direct is where to go. Google maps was also not helping. We walked back to the station to get direction. This walk from the train station to the igloo is literally walking down the mountain. There is no walking path or clearly marked route. You are strongly advised to wear ski clothes and good boots that don't slip on the slope. When we finally reached we saw one igloo on display and an open bar.The place itself has a lovely view, no doubt about that. The indoor restaurant was closed. The only food available in the outdoor bar was cheese fondue with bread, packed snacks and drinks. The price was very high. The way back for us was a downhill walk along the ski piste. My realisation is that this place is an overpriced stop over for skiers on their way down the mountain. For non skiers specially with kids and old people, it is not a comfortable journey to and back from this place.

We stayed at Iglu-Dorf Zermatt for our honeymoon early April and had such a wonderful experience. Casper and his team were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The whole experience is really once in a lifetime. You may be sleeping in an ice house, but with all of the activities you can't help but have a wonderful night, filled with fondue, good drinks, rest and relaxation in the sauna and hot tub and if you're lucky like us, breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and Alps under the stars and a beautiful sunrise in the morning. Highly recommend it to anyone and if you can splurge, the suite is 100% worth it!

We came up just to experience great view at magnificent Alpes , Matterhorn. And it was spectacular!!! The view is breathtaking. There are lounge chairs available to sit and enjoy the view , take some sunbathing and also a bar right there. We got Hot wine- it was super . Went into Igloo to see and it looks nice, but I wouldn’t sleep there, it’s super cold inside despite all the clothes you wear. Yes, they have sleeping sacks to keep you warm, but still. I know it’s an expensive, but not for everyone))) Yes , it’s also quite expensive to get to this top, for foreigners it’s 75 franks.

Imagine a day hiking at the top of the Swiss Alps, arriving to a hand made igloo with a different theme every year. Received with a glass of glu wine, followed by fondue, a hike under the moon with no other lights around, and ending the night in a super hot outdoor jacuzzi, yes, you read it right, OUTDOOR jacuzzi at -7C but the water is so hot that you really end up sweating which is perfect, jump on your pajamas and straight to your bed. I recommend it for one night to live the experience, more than that I would consider it extreme sport haha

Had an amazing experience here! First of all the staff were brilliant, all so kind and informative. We started off with a mulled wine and a tour of the igloos. We then got given our room keys, had a fondue dinner and had the option of a hike in the snow which was really fun. We then went back and had our own allocated time in the Jacuzzi or sauna (30 minutes each). Before bed we went in the hut which had a big fire in the middle with brownies plates on top to warm them up to eat - this was such a lovely idea!
