Iceland is a winter wonderland, offering a plethora of activities and sports that cater to all kinds of adventure seekers. Whether you’re staying at our hotel in Ísafjörður, Stykkishólmur, Hvítá in Borgarfjörður, Klettasel in Hof in Öræfi, Drangshlíð in south Iceland, or Hrífunes close to Vík, there’s something for everyone. Here’s how to make the most of your winter getaway in Iceland.
Snowmobiling on Glaciers
One of the most exhilarating ways to experience Iceland’s icy landscapes is by snowmobiling. Head to Langjökull Glacier, where you can zoom across the snow-covered expanse and take in breathtaking views. Troll Expeditions offers guided snowmobiling tours that are perfect for both beginners and experienced riders.
Exploring Ice Caves
Ice caves are a must-see when visiting Iceland in the winter. These natural wonders are formed by melting and refreezing ice, creating stunning blue-hued caverns. Book a tour with Troll Expeditions to explore the mesmerizing ice caves in Vatnajökull Glacier. Remember to dress warmly and wear sturdy boots.
Hiking and Snowshoeing
For those who prefer a slower pace, hiking and snowshoeing are excellent ways to explore Iceland’s winter landscapes. The trails around our hotel in Drangshlíð offer picturesque views of the South Iceland countryside. Alternatively, the area near Hvítá in Borgarfjörður provides serene paths through snow-covered forests.
Northern Lights Hunting
No winter trip to Iceland is complete without witnessing the Northern Lights. The best time to see this natural phenomenon is from September to April. Our hotels in Hrífunes close to Vík and Klettasel in Hof in Öræfi are ideally located for Northern Lights viewing. Join a guided tour with Troll Expeditions for the best chances of spotting the auroras.
Skiing and Snowboarding
Ísafjörður is a prime destination for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. The nearby ski resort offers slopes for all skill levels, along with stunning views of the surrounding fjords. After a day on the slopes, relax at our cozy hotel in Ísafjörður and enjoy a warm meal.
Relaxing in Hot Springs
After a day of winter activities, there’s nothing better than soaking in a hot spring. The geothermal waters are not only relaxing but also have therapeutic benefits. Visit the hot springs near Stykkishólmur for a rejuvenating experience.
