SWITZERLAND-TOURISM-OFFBEAT-IGLOO
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ANDRE LEHMANN
Guests pose in a romance-themed room at the Iglu-Dorf on January 26, 2009 above the ski resort of Davos. Perched high above the five-star hotels and heated debate amongst global leaders in the Swiss resort of Davos, an igloo hotel offers the chance to chill out and enjoy life as an Eskimo might. Set in the midst of the groomed, snow-clad ski slopes 2,600 metres up (8,500 feet), where temperatures sometimes hang around minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus four Fahrenheit) during the daytime, the cluster of igloos nonetheless takes a few liberties with the genuine polar experience. Iglu-Dorf is built out of packed snow, but the network of 15 igloos linked by tunnels looks more like a cross between neolithic caves and an eco-housing complex perched in the Alps.
