IGLU let me pay £89 in taxi fares from airport to hotel then from hotel to port. This was the day before the Celebrity cruise started. After talking to other passengers on same cruise in the hotel, they all had vouchers for transport. …

An overnight stay in the Igloo Village Zugspitze is a great experience! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather and enjoyed it very much. …

We didn’t stay here, but we walked around. You could either pay to see the hotel or buy a drink and walk around. It was really cool walking around. We enjoyed the chairs they had out front and the nice view. There were way less people in front of it

What a great experience. The guides were great. Relaxed, funny and super helpful. Despite the bad weather in the evening, every effort was made to organize all the activities as well as possible. Be sure to visit the whirlpool and sauna before going to bed, then you'll sleep a little warmer! ;-) The sunrise in the morning was wonderful. Absolutely recommended for anyone who is not afraid of the cold. Thanks to the three guides who contributed a lot to the feel-good factor.

The drinks were only instant with hot water - but the igloo hotel was really impressive. We didn't spend the night there ourselves, but we marveled at the location with our mouths open... really artistic and incredibly beautiful!!

For sure a adventure but not ideal for everyone.Not very comfortable and kind of dangerous when you walk inside the Iglu.Cheese Fondue was ok.Hot wine was already cold when served.Make sure to bring a lot of warm clothes with you and prepared for a cold night.

A special experience: A night in an igloo! Top price-performance ratio & a super nice, humorous team! The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was relaxed and sociable with all the other igloo village visitors and there were enough activities such as sauna, whirlpool, night hike and/or board games! A must for every cold fanatic!
