Hot and cold at the same time, here is an intense adventure of living together, with a challenge of cohesion to ensure a night under the Igloo.
The Altimood mountain guides offer you to build your own igloo in the middle of the mountain and to sleep there at night in an igloo. A real unusual trip in the kingdom of snow.
1. Build your own igloo
Snowshoes on our feet, you will be guided to a perfect spot for the construction of an Igloo in the french Alps.
From there, a little nivology point: which stratum offers us which snow?
After analysis, your guide will suggest the most suitable method of building an igloo.
With the advice of your guide, your group will organize itself to succeed in the construction of this snow dome.
This winter activity can be concluded with a return to civilization after a possible mountain snack or a dinner in the igloo.
From 28€/pers. for a group of 6 people.

The adventure can also continue for the pleasure of the greatest adventurers for a night in the Igloo.
2. Sleep a night in an Igloo
Are you ready to become an Inuit during this adventure?
The experience continues under the starry sky between the peaks of the Southern Alps in France... always under the vigilance of a mountain guide (cold management, avalanche, etc.).
The evening offers a time of sharing around the preparation of a collective meal.
In order to offer the best conditions to this night in the snow, you will have to prepare your backpack following the indications of Altimood and the material lent:
sleeping bag adapted to the snow
special inflatable mattress for the winter
backpack adapted to the hike
and more !
Warning: sleeping under an igloo into the wild is not trivial, it's a magical, sporty and wild experience that is far from the comfort of ice hotels and igloo nights in ski resorts.
From 215€/pers. The price for a night in an igloo includes
supervision by a mountain and snow professional
lunch made from organic, local and seasonal products
dinner in the snow with soup, raclette cheese and a gourmet dessert
trapper's breakfast
loan of equipment adapted to winter: sleeping bag, mattress, backpack, snowshoes, sticks, shovel...
The departure is on Day 1 around 10am and the return is on Day 2 in the morning.

Customer Reviews A night in Igloo
★★★★★Night in igloo
Robin guided us for a winter bivouac with our family, with the construction of an igloo. A team work that everyone enjoyed even if it was very physical! Then a good meal shared at the campfire under a starry sky before going to sleep in the igloo! Robin is a very good guide, he listens to everyone, he knows how to adapt to each person and to the children. He organized and supervised the activity very well and we were able to live an extraordinary experience in complete safety.
Confront the challenges and risks of the cold, learn to progress in safety and sleep one night in the snow... A whole program for this winter adventure.
Go hiking in the mountains to enjoy the sunset, a shepherd's meal cooked on the coals and fall asleep under the stars sky. A 2 days hiking trip in the Alps.
