Before I knew I was staying in an igloo... all I was told was:…read morea) "I booked a night for us up in the mountains... but we're not staying a hotel." b) "Make sure you bring all your WARMEST clothes... and a bikini." HUH? I was surprised with a trip to the Iglu-Dorf in Engelberg! Not knowing exactly what to expect was definitely part of the fun so I won't give it all away in my review, but here are some HIGHLIGHTS: 1) Friendly, knowledgable, helpful guides that are fluent in English and German. 2) HUGE igloo. It's much bigger than it looks from the outside complete with a bar and dining room! 3) Beautifully decorated inside with detailed ice sculptures in every room. Every year the sculptures focus around a different theme; this year's theme was "Comics & Cartoons." Characters from The Lion King, South Park, Snoopy, and many others were all carved in ice. We had the Batman room! 4) Delicious dinner with charcuterie & cheese, mushroom soup, fondue, and prosecco! For dessert we had chocolate cupcakes and coffee gelato! They definitely feed you well. It's very rich and FILLING, but much needed to survive the night. 5) Lovely guided moonlit night-hike around the Lake at Engelberg. They provide the snow shoes and trekking poles (as well as a little nip of Jägermeister half way through!) 6) There is a jacuzzi/hot tub IN the igloo! (So that's what I needed the bikini for...) Take full advantage of this-- it's SO nice after the hour hike in the snow, and it'll really warm you up before you go to bed. 7) TOASTY sleeping bags! Arctic-rated sleeping bags are no joke, and staying the night in the igloo much warmer than I would have ever expected... I would totally recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new experience! It's an exceptional and truly memorable once in a lifetime adventure!

Sleep in an igloo A…read morenight at the Iglu Dorf is definitely a cool experience. There are a few places in Switzerland where they offer the night in the igloo. The one in Engelberg/Trübsee is with 1800m probably one of the lowest places, but with the Titlis mountain right beside it makes a fantastic two day trip and we had plenty of snow. After a small walk the dinner is served, Gerber fondue. I had better, but I didn't expect too much in an igloo. It is the experience that counts. At the bar various drinks can be bought. I don't recommend booking the special candle light dinner, as it is simply just means that you get a table for two alone and a bottle of white wine. Our group was an internationally mix of nice people. Hence mingling is no problem. The guides are very friendly and help to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The igloos are decorated with a different theme each year. I was a bit disappointed that there were no ice scupltures and not a classical ice bar. Maybe they change that next year. A cool thing is the Jacuzzi where you can have a hot bath and see the stars above you, as the igloo is open on the top at the hot tub. There is a heated room where you can get changed, so definitely bring your swimming clothes! The personal igloo room is nicely decorated and illuminated with LEDs. The bed is lined with fur and has a special sleeping bag. With a normal pyjama you will heat up the air and not freeze. The igloo is constant at around 0 degree, and I definitely did not feel cold during the night. We had a room with it's own WC. Else you may have to walk 40m to get to the public toilette during the night ;-) The breakfast is served early in the morning at the Alpstübli restaurant, which is a 10min walk from the igloo. All in all a very special experience, I definitely would do it again.

My feet were sore and i had a ton of time to kill while on a tour so i stopped by Mr. Pickwick. The concept is an order at the bar all at once- drinks and food and they'll bring it to you. You have to tell them where you're sitting, very specifically as they have no real way of knowing where you're sitting. Being not a native speaker i did think i was ordering a sandwich so i was a little let down to see i was getting what looked fingers. They were okay. Little bland but well breaded. The food runner was very fun and friendly but i had no real interaction with the other staff. I ate most of the fries and left most of the chicken. I couldn't really get behind them. They weren't awful, but just weren't great. Maybe another menu item would be better?

There aren't many dining options in Grindelwald, but fear not, Avocado Bar is all that you need! My…read morefriend and I ordered some beers and some appetizers, and WOW were we amazed. The panini was by far the best panini I've ever had in my life. So unexpected, but I stand by my claim and I will be thinking about the crunchy ciabatta bread and fresh ingredients for a LONG time. The sausage and bread appetizer was also marvelous. When it came out and I saw that we get to slice it with the fun little machine, I was ecstatic. We had such a good time making little meat slices and they tasted delicious. The beers were also the best beers that I had in my entire Eurotrip (10 days) and the wheat beer is up there with my favorite beers of all time. After we finished eating, we played darts for a while and had such an amazing time. As weird as it sounds, my evening at Avocado Bar was PROBABLY the highlight of my short little Grindelwald trip. You MUST go here!

The entire time from when we got our food to finished there were flies landing around us, on us, and on our food when we weren't quick enough to swat them away.

Definitely lots of options for the pizzas and you can get something pretty unique! His had an egg in the middle of it, which I don't think I have seen before in the US.
