Nestled in the Swiss Alps above Monthey, Switzerland, the eco-chalets coexist with the mountainside, allowing for a hospitality experience that preserves and cherishes its surrounding environment. Designed with groups and families in mind, the minimalist chalets are ideal for those looking for an escape to the mountains with all the comforts and conveniences of a home. The structures are made entirely with Swiss materials and products, including larch wood paneled exterior and interior millwork by a local fabricator. These materials help create a seamless transition between the structures and the surrounding mountains, while also evoking the design of a traditional Swiss chalet. The accommodations are divided into “night” and “day”. The night area is composed of 3 bedrooms situated on one side, while the day part includes the entrance, dining room and the living room placed on the other. Currently, 9 of the 21 chalets are expected to be completed by the official opening date of December 2020, and bookings are now available.
A few other fun facts:
- Every morning, Whitepod’s E-Food Truck delivers breakfast to the front of your door. Warm croissants, levain bread, homemade jams and pastries
- 2 of the eco-chalets are two-story; and if you were to book them all, you could create your own little village in the Swiss Alps able to accommodate 54 people (an intimate wedding idea, family reunion, etc)
- Low-impact
- Water is directly tapped from the source
- Spring water that runs down the mountain is collected to power electric turbines who then supply electricity to the village
- Chalet made of larch wood from our Swiss forests
- Built by local craftsmen and local companies
- Customizable bookings with additional experiences like dining at the restaurant, hiking, and spa treatments
