From December to April INUIT offers igloo building seminars during which you learn to build snow homes according to old Inuit techniques and traditions. Seminar venues include Feuerkogel/Ebensee in Upper Austria and Bürgeralpe/Mariazell in Styria.
Igloo building is not really an “everyday skill” and this although the snow domes have many advantages over a tent: insulation is better, it’s sturdy even in storms, and there is no condensation built-up as the snow walls immediately absorb the humidity. This way your sleeping bag and clothes will stay dry.
