The next iteration of the ice palace is much less frigid: private mountaintop igloos. The latest snowy village from Iglu-Dorf, started by Swiss snowboard instructor Adrian Günter ten years ago as a way to beat the crowds to the next morning's virgin powder, occupies a bench at 5,085 feet on Eggli, near Gstaad, Switzerland. Romance suite—with bedroom, bath, and hot-tub igloos—from $420 per person, including meals and guaranteed first tracks. iglu-dorf.com
