Igloo building workshop incl. overnight stay at the Bosruckhütte

The special adventure for outdoor fans

A childhood dream ...

Did you also build your own cave in the snow as a child, crawled into it and let your imagination run wild? Building your own shelter somewhere in the vastness of winter under your own steam undoubtedly has a timeless fascination. As adults, however, we quickly develop different ideas and probably also more realistic expectations of a dwelling.

... becomes reality

Some have tried again later. All those who have succeeded rave about the experience. In our igloo building workshop, you will learn the necessary techniques to successfully build a classic and sleepable igloo yourself. With professional supervision, we will build such a sheltered space in the snow together - with the aim of setting up camp there for the night, of course.

In a safe environment

Just try it out at indoor temperatures of 0C° to +5C°! If it gets too cold for you, or you change your mind, nothing is lost. The warm and cozy hut atmosphere is available to warm you up in between. And if you really prefer it, there is always a place to sleep reserved for you in the nearby mountain hut!

Try it yourself

In any case: your overnight stay in a self-built igloo will remain in your memory as an extraordinary experience and a true adventure. For this night, take a step beyond the limits of what you have known so far - and make your dream come true!

Prerequisites: This workshop takes place for groups of 12 or more.

Opening times: Saturday from 10.30 am to Sunday 10.00 am after breakfast.

Tip:

Dress warmly, but in several layers according to the "onion-skin principle". This allows you to adjust the warmth to the conditions at any time.

Hat and gloves: This will keep those parts of your body warm through which most of the heat is otherwise lost.

Sun and cold protection for all exposed parts of the body (face, nose, ears). Good sunglasses are particularly important in winter!

If possible, waterproof but breathable shoes with good insulation: mountain boots or winter boots with good grip are suitable.

Pack enough to drink, as the loss of fluids is particularly high during physically strenuous activities in winter.

An average level of physical fitness is sufficient for participation.
