I went to an ice igloo restaurant! *pics*

[user79]

On Saturday I went with my bf and his family to an ice igloo restaurant. Basically the whole restaurant is carved into snow and ice! And inside there are lots of tunnels going into smaller rooms where you can eat cheese fondue. You have to take a gondola up the mountain to get there, and it's very peaceful and quiet.

Some quick snaps I took, sorry these aren't the best camera but I only took my point&shoot, and the igloo was very crowded with people!


Nighttime outside up a mountain...you can't see the igloo in this shot, it's behind me.

The bar inside the igloo, all made of ice blocks and snow. We warmed up with shots of vodka and champagne.

Beautiful long stemmed roses, frozen inside blocks of solid ice as decoration.

Detail carved into front of the bar...

Drinking champagne at the main entrance part inside the igloo.

This is what the tables looked like where the fondue was served. The table and seats are carved out of snow, and on top are wool and fur blankets to keep warm.

Afterwards there was some traditional live music! And everyone was drinking and dancing.

That's it! At the end of the night we were all very drunk but we had a blast. Inside the igloo it's not actually that cold, much warmer than outside. We went down with the gondola and onto the next bar!

Oh my gosh that looks like so much fun! It is now my goal in life to go to an ice igloo restaurant before I die.

Woow, what an awesome place!! The bar looks really cool with those frozen bottles on the inside. Never been to a restaurant like that but I heard about Ice bars, they give you survival blankets at the entrance to warm you up (before taking some good old beverages!!). Looks like you all had a nice time... and this fondue looks really yummy!!

Hey I think I've seen this on TV before haha. That's really cool, I could never eat there though because I don't do cold haha. It's amazing nonetheless.
