Pods

Each pod is designed to combine luxury and ecology. They are like high-tech tents, with a novel architecture and geodesic shape. The pods feature a self-supporting frame that guarantees a solid structure while using a minimum of materials. They rest on a solid wooden platform. It's like sleeping on a huge cloud above the mountains.

Inside, the furnishings are luxurious and very comfortable. You'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, running water, pellet stove, minibar, Nespresso coffee machine, wifi, private bathroom, majestic terrace with views of the peaks and picture window overlooking the valley. A real cosy cocoon, perfectly soundproofed.

If you want to extend your relaxation, don't hesitate to book a massage between 9am and 7pm.

The Social Cabin

Just a 10-minute walk from the pods, you'll find the Social Cabin. A rather unique place with a cinema, 3 immersive gyms for running, boxing or yoga, as well as a refreshing ice room and sauna with the most spectacular view in Switzerland.

Location

Whitepod Original is located in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, in the small town of Monthey, famous for its carnival. Geneva is a 1h45-minute drive away. In summer, there's plenty to do, including 25 kilometers of marked trails, mountain biking, tennis, horseback riding and paragliding. And in winter: take to the 2 nearby ski slopes with private lifts, ride a winter scooter or go for a ride on a dog sled.
