In February Iceland’s Lake Myvatn has everything to offer to those who dream of a relaxing and enchanting stay. The sun is already on its way back, the cold is dry and invigorating, the scenery beautiful. Your days will include walks of three to four hours on snowshoes followed by a natural warm bath of about 40 degrees, some of which are located in cavities in the rock, and after a superb meal you have the chance to experience the magical natural phenomenon – the aurora borealis or Northern Lights. You will actually hear them because in addition to their beautiful colours they sing.

The effect of a little magic
This was a week that allowed me to get back on my feet. The wild nature, the cold, the wind, the heat of the water … the light … everything comes together to create a magical effect we can bring home. Everyone gets what they need. The calm of the place chimes with the impressive calm of Jean-Marc, our guide. He, like the country in which he lives and has adopted, is a person to discover.
