Snow-shoeing, hot-springs & the northern lights

In Iceland

Recharge your batteries with snow-shoes on your feet

The winter light in Iceland is magical, during the day the sun reflects off the ice and snow, and when dark falls the aurora borealis is spectacular. In February, the day-lenght is almost the same length as in Switzerland and there is great opportunity for snow-shoeing. The mix of snowshoes, relaxing in hot springs, the magical light and the aurora borealis is an experience not to be missed!
