After more than a year of border lockdowns and international travel restrictions, spending the night in a mini prefab dwelling surrounded by 80 volcanoes might sound too good to be true. But now, Airbnb and Volvic are teaming up to offer two guests a unique one-night stay in the Chaîne des Puys area of France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region—the site where the French brand sources its natural mineral water.

On September 18, 2o21, two lucky Airbnb guests will enjoy a spectacular overnight getaway in a LumiPod, which is a circular prefab structure with curved glass windows that offer panoramic views of the tectonic setting. In addition to spending the night in the indoor/outdoor accommodation, the trip will include a guided tour of the natural park’s biodiversity, as well as a volcano hike planned by record-breaking mountain athlete, Kilian Jornet, who is the virtual host of the excursion.

The two guests will also be treated to a hot air balloon ride overlooking the Chaîne des Puys volcanoes (weather dependent), as well as a locally sourced dinner by French Michelin-starred chef, Adrien Descouls, and a private sunrise yoga session.
The Chaîne des Puys area, which is inscribed on UNESCO’s Natural World Heritage list, is home to a roughly 25-mile chain of cinder domes, lava domes, and maars (a type of volcanic crater).
