by Nizie Lokman
The undeniable truth is that most of us are tired and uninspired by the so-called “new normal.” We crave connections outside a familiar environment. We need to break away and have a rare travel experience that will give us a new shift of perspective after our current mundanity.
Named one of the six best eco-friendly luxury hotels around the world, Rare Magazine explores the Whitepod Eco-Luxury Hotel that speaks sustainability at every touchpoint. Targeted at the ecoconscious, status-quo squashers, this may be the best time to explore a rare travel experience in a high altitude above sea level alone, with loved ones, and in groups for business and leisure. Here are some of the highlights you can expect at this unique sustainable hotel.
BE FREE WITH NATURAL VIEWS
Located at the beginning of the Swiss Alps, at the foot of Dents-du-Midi mountain range you will be intrigued by the canton of Valais in the village of Les Carneirs. It’s approximately a 90-minute drive from Geneva Airport. Surrounded by nature, it has a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and scenic mountain views. The snowscapes are truly magical especially during winter. Nestled away from the crowd, you will enjoy the lowimpact location of socially distanced remoteness.
FUTURISTIC, ENER- GY-EFFICIENT IGLOOS
