Most winter vacations are designed to escape ice and snow, but here's a twist: Igloo villages. Located in Switzerland and Germany, Igloo villages include hotels and bars catering to cold-weather fans. Popular with snowboarders and skiers, the villages are taking on a broader appeal, and can even handle corporate events.

To book a stay in an Igloo Hotel from now through April, contact HostelBookers.com. Igloos are located in Scuol, Engelberg, Gstaad, Zermott and even St. Moritz in Switerland, and in Zugspitze, Germany.

What's it like to stay overnight in an igloo? Well, as David Smith, General Manager of HostelBookers.com points out, it's not a new idea. "The Inuit people have been living in igloos for over 4,000 years, though we'll admit that the saunas, hot-tubs, and bars are a relatively new feature."
