A yurt is a round<\/strong> and cozy shelter<\/strong> made of animal skins<\/strong> (or felt) and wood. In other words, it is a circular tent<\/strong>. Mongolian people also call them “ger<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t rely on stakes<\/strong> or any kind of ropes<\/strong> to hold itself up; on the contrary, the roof ring<\/strong>, the walls<\/strong> and rafters<\/strong> work against each other with tensioning bands<\/strong> to keep the structure standing. Depending on what you prefer, the yurt could be from 2<\/strong> to 3 meters<\/strong> high.<\/p>\n

They are useful both in summer<\/strong> and during winter<\/strong>; as a matter of fact, you choose how many layers of tissue<\/strong> you prefer, depending on the outside temperature<\/strong>. In the center of their yurts the Mongols used to build their cooking fires<\/strong>, opening a smoke hole for the purpose.\u00a0Of course, when it’s pouring rain this hole<\/strong> could be a little bit inconvenient<\/strong>, since nobody wants rain in their living room. However, you could find an easy way to close and open the skylight<\/strong> in simple steps.<\/p>\n

Which is the perfect place to try the Yurt experience?<\/h2>\n

The fact that the walls are made up of a few layers of different materials creates a close connection<\/strong> with nature<\/strong>.<\/span> Just a few centimeters separate you from the outside and the wildlife<\/strong>.<\/span> You can live and sleep in a comfortable way<\/strong> protected from the wind and the rain. From your accomodation you can hear\u00a0birds singing.<\/span> When you exit the door, you are directly in an open green space<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are different types of yurts.<\/span> From very simple accommodation<\/strong> to luxury m<\/strong><\/span>odels<\/strong> with elaborate designs<\/strong>, equipped with kitchen<\/strong>, appliances<\/strong> and\u00a0<\/span>high quality furniture<\/strong> (Glamping<\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Compared to other tents, in yurts there’s more space available, due to their vertical walls<\/strong>. In addition, the yurts are built to withstand earthquakes and storms.<\/p>\n
