Located in a small village known as Les Cerniers among the Swiss Alps, Whitepod has earned wide reputation as a wonderful relaxation and accommodation resort. The resort offers the guests wonderful facilities and amenities to make their vacation a memorable affair. The eco-friendly resort offers the guests a twist on the traditional ski gateway. Whitepod is surrounded by lofty and pristine Swiss Alps and it is an ideal location to experience the feel of heaven.

First is the eco camp that allows groups of up to 24 people to stay in one of nice pods, or dome-shaped tents) situated around the main lodge. Each pod is a bedroom created to hold one or two people. The Group Pod, however, can accommodate 8. Each pod has a wood-burning stove and is fully insulated to protect from the temperatures of both days and nights. The comforts provided, such as the organic sheets and blankets and the main lodge facilities, all contain locally made, eco-friendly materials. The resort also offers amenities including a spa and saunas.

Nightly rates for Whitepod stays are quoted in Swiss francs and prices vary for each season. For more information, visit their Whitepod website. The rate also includes morning and afternoon tea with baked goods served daily in the main lodge for guest staying in the main pods. Guests staying in the refuge camp also vary by season and less expensive than the main lodge. Rates will cover all boarding costs with the exception of drinks. There are group rates available for both camps.

The resort also offers skiing on a private run where crowds and long lines do not exist. Other activities, such as fitness programs and team challenges, are made available to guests under the direction of the trained mountain staff and resort activity manager. There are also running programs, yoga classes, and even seasonal camps for kids that run only in July and August for children aged 7-14 years. Note there are no motorized sports available at the resort.

In addition to the main area of pod accommodations, guests can choose to venture higher into the mountains to the Alpine Refuge camp, which is only accessible on foot or skis. Capable of accommodating up to 60 guests at a time, the refuge is a great place to hold corporate events or private family affairs. Different adventure programs are also available through the refuge. Residents of the refuge share a large campfire and sleep in bedrooms or dormitory-like rooms.

Because Whitepod is based on the principals of ecotourism, the resort prefers guests to travel by train to the resort; however, cars are permitted on site. For air travellers, the closest airport is in Geneva, which is about an hour and a half from the resort, alongside Lake Geneva. Also, due to the strict policies concerning ecological practices, the camp has specific rules regarding certain practices.

For instance, there is not electricity in any of the pods and there are no individual bathrooms for guests. All facilities are in the main lodge. Proper gear should be brought to the resort, including mountain boots (seasonal for snow or rocky terrain), sun screen, sunglasses, skiing mask, and a swim suit for the spa and sauna. All such kinds of active holiday and snow, rock and adventure-themed trips can also be found at Alpine Elements, who specialise in outdoor fun.
