ICELAND LONG WEEKENDS
ICELAND ADVENTURE WEEKEND
ICELAND · 4 DAYS · GRADE: B
Snowmobiling, glacier exploration, geysers, waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon and lively Reykjavik
Iceland is a great winter destination and the fashionable city of Reykjavik, with its backdrop of snowy peaks, is lively at any time of year. Within just a couple of hours drive of the capital are some of Iceland's most famous sights, even more spectacular in their winter costume. This weekend of high adventure spends two nights in the capital and one night in a rural guesthouse in the wilds of the `Land of Ice and Fire'. We discover the awe-inspiring volcanic and glaciated landscape on foot, by snowmobile, and using crampons and ice-axes on a sensational glacier walk. There's also plenty of time left for sampling Reykjavik's famous nightlife, or just soothing aching muscles in the famous Blue Lagoon. Monday morning will seem a world away.
