Top 10 Luxury Camping Trips

Whitepod, Switzerland

When planning a camping trip, snow isn't usually part of the equation. However, when tents are replaced by dome-shaped pods, and fishing by snowshoeing and dog sledding, the idea of cold-weather camping becomes quite intriguing. Nestled nearly 6,000 feet high in the Swiss Alps, Whitepod offers breathtaking views and a unique experience for skiers, snowboarders, and nature enthusiasts alike. Skiers and boarders can spend the day carving out Whitepod's private ski slopes, and relax afterwards with a massage at the luxurious spa pod, or with a fireside meal in the main lodge. If all this pod talk sounds a bit futuristic, it's because the resort prides itself on using the latest technology to help safeguard the environment. The result is that each pod is individually heated by wood-burning stoves, can withstand winds up to 130mph, and can be taken down at any time, without leaving a trace. Now that's covering your tracks. www.whitepod.com
