Vacation Time!

So who isn't dying to go skiing in the Swiss Alps? Well next time the opportunity arises for me I know where I am staying! There is this amazing "hotel" in Les Cerniers, Switzerland where it is only $430/night to rent your own little eco-pod! This is seriously the cutest place I have ever seen. Not only do the white, dome shaped structures blend in with the landscape so as not to detract from the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps, but they are also made partly from recycled plastics! Adorable, eco-friendly, and functional? I'm booking mine today.

If the lure of the beauty of the natural surroundings isn't enough to draw you in, just look at the inside of this place!

Each eco-pod has their own fireplace, observatory deck, and an amazing view! This $430/night is actually beginning to look like a steal! Can you imagine waking up ON the Swiss Alps every morning? Even if I can only stay for one night, I have to experience this. The views are breathtaking. I could just lay in that bed all day with the fireplace on, looking out the window. Is this what Heaven looks like? Probably. These eco-pods are a reflection of the times and they are popping up all over the world. The geometric shaped dome made from rotated triangle figures also got its shape from nature. Scientists have been studying the art of the bee hive for years and have finally unlocked the answer to why they are perfectly insulated, thriving habitats. The geometric shapes combined together not only allow the eco-pod to trap the heat inside, but the alternating triangles also give the structures an added strength if, heaven forbid, there was an avalanche on the mountain. Regardless of the risk of staying directly on the mountain in a structure that resembles a tent, I would gladly risk my life to stay here. If I die, at least I would die happy. Now I am off to book my trip to the Swiss Alps and reserve my eco-pod..... well maybe one day!
