It doesn’t get more off-the-grid than the Fljót Valley on
the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland. This remote
area is a gateway for adventures ranging from skiing to sea
kayaking and the perfect location for viewing the Aurora Borealis
due to its notable lack of artificial light. Located on a converted
sheep farm, Deplar Farm blends into the natural landscape with its
black timber cladding and living roof. Floor-to-ceiling windows
throughout the property embrace the surrounding peaks and allow for
an optimal perspective on the colorful skies dancing
outside.
Price based on 7 night stay. Property also available per night.

Experience skiing on the beautiful Troll Peninsula, whose steep slopes take you all the way to the ocean. However, if you’re not an experienced skier, with over 1,500 square miles to choose from, there will be a terrain for your skill level, and your guide will select the right one for you.
It’s all about mind-blowing activities here – and Deplar Farm provides all the gear you need as well as expert guides. In winter, go snowmobiling, sea kayaking and heli-skiing near the Arctic Circle (the hotel has two heli-pads). Of course, one of the main attractions here is to enjoy the Northern Lights from the geothermal pool.
