If you’re traveling to the Swiss Alps, the number one thing you’re interested in is Mother Nature. Instead of holing up in a hotel that keeps you away from the thing you most want to see, why not stay somewhere designed to let you experience it. Whitepods are geodesic domes situated in Les Cerniers, Switzerland, that you can rent for a few nights. There are a few different models, but each offers the same huge benefit: incredible views of the mountains. At about 4,500 feet up, you’re put in the thick of it, and the Whitepods allow you to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, paragliding, and more without traveling more than 20 minutes. Services include an on-site restaurant, sauna, and spa. To us, few things sound better than a day of hiking followed by unwinding on a personal deck overlooking the mountains with a beer in hand.
