For most people, spending a night in cable car 9,000 feet above sea level probably doesn't sound that relaxing. But if you're a ski buff or a sucker for a view, you might enjoy the prize in Airbnb's latest sweepstakes—a stay in a tricked-out lift above a resort in the French Alps.
The hospitality company is turning a gondola at Courchevel into a bedroom for four (assuming they're willing to pair off to share the two beds). The winners will arrive by snowmobile, enjoy a regional dinner in the cable car, and ride to the top of Saulire mountain, where they'll have access to the bathroom in the station, because—surprise, surprise—there isn't one in the car.
The next morning, after breakfast, they also get first dibs on the slopes.
If that seems like your kind of thing, enter before Feb. 25 by making your case in 100 words over at the Airbnb listing. "Vertigo sufferers need not apply," it helpfully notes.
If you're selected, you'll still have to get yourself there. But judging by some of Airbnb's other willfully quirky promo digs, it may well be worth it. While it's not as spacious as a commercial jet converted into an apartment, it almost definitely beats sleeping in an Ikea.
