Iceland’s pristine nature takes on a completely new look in its winter coat; the mountains get a more majestic feel to them, the snow-covered land feels new, fresh and fragile, and the island’s multitude of beautiful waterfalls are nothing short of spectacular when bound in ice. The midnight sun is nowhere to be seen, but instead the colourful Aurora Borealis light up the dark arctic skies. While King Winter closes the highland regions to all but monstrous 4X4 super-jeeps, he opens up a new world of attractions and activities.

The contrasts that constitute Iceland are never as prevalent as in the winter; split between North-America and Europe, the land of fire and ice, where the old meets the new, offers a surprising range of contrasting attractions and activities both inside and outside the capital, Reykjavík. Whether you are looking for a thrilling activity package or a relaxing getaway, the Icelandic winter offers ample opportunities for both.

Visit a true winter wonderland in one of Europe’s hottest travel destinations; experience a new world, another reality and a different pace of life in Iceland.
