The largest igloo in the world is being built in Zermatt.For its 20th anniversary, the Igloo Village Zermatt has set itself a spectacular challenge: The world's largest igloo is to be built at 2727 meters. The world's largest igloo to date was created in Grand Falls, Canada, on February 19, 2011, with a diameter of 9.20 meters and a height of 5.30 meters. The starting signal for the world record attempt was given on the weekend of January 9 and 10, 2016. At 2727 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 13 meters, the huge cave of snow and ice is created. A total of 3600 snow bricks will be used in a construction phase of two weeks. With a ceiling height of 11 meters, the building should be sure of an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.At the same time, the highest showroom in the world is also to be built. Volvo, the partner that Iglu-Dorf GmbH was able to win for the world record, will exhibit the new XC 90 there. Parallel to this, there will also be an exhibition on the 20-year Igloo Village history and a documentary on the exciting world record attempt.
