Well, those days are over... welcome to the art of sleeping under the stars in glamorous style; it's called glamping and the Swiss are champions at it... but beware the prices have changed along with the tents!
Near Les Giettes, in the heart of Valais mountains, 18 luxury igloos are available for rent, including winter overnight stays. The bullet-shaped tents, called pods, offer different comfort gradings. The deluxe version contains a king-size bed, a shower and toilet as well as a satellite-TV and Wifi. Breakfast is hand-delivered to the pods. The comfort however will cost from CHF 1'180.- for two nights. The suite with a private sauna will set you back CHF 1'700.- for two nights.
Also in the canton Valais, in the small community of Weiler Blatten, you'll find the following glamping offer: at around 1,500 meters above sea level you can hire a luxurious lodge tent, complete with oven, sofa, warm-water shower and a sun roof. The lodge tent will up to sleep six people. The cost for a weekend is just under CHF 500.-.
Much smaller, but more transparent, is the Bubble Hotel. Six locations in the canton of Thurgau offer transparent, water-proof bubbles, including breakfast. Prices start at a relatively cheap CHF 190.-.
Feel like spending the night as if you are staring in a Hollywood Western movie: under the tepees on the TCS campsite in Disentis you do not have to miss out on a good night's sleep. The glamping tents are equipped with double beds. The fireplace is the perfect place to cook dinner but you can also enjoy a meal in the nearby restaurant. The highlight for families is the natural lake with a water playground. What are you waiting for?
