Iceland’s unique geologic history has created an environment that is truly stunning. Mountains rise up from the sea along the fjords on the Troll Peninsula. The island is full of geothermal vents below the surface which form numerous hot springs throughout the country. Proximity to the Arctic Circle allows for views of the Northern Lights from October to April, and long days in the summer mean more time to adventure and explore. Popular summer activities include fishing for Atlantic salmon and Arctic char, hiking, sea kayaking and horseback riding. In the spring, surfing and heli-skiing can be done in the same day.

Deplar is a converted sheep farm, situated in the remote Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland. Today’s modern structure celebrates a rugged past, and honors authentic Icelandic architecture with 13 en suite bedrooms. It is a one-stop-shop for adventure, solitude, mystery, and high-end amenities. The Fljót Valley sees some of the highest average snowfall on the planet. As a result, the eastern route to Deplar is closed all winter, making its remote locale all the more raw and wild. Strategically located between Europe and the States, Iceland and Deplar offer easy access to otherworldly landscapes without hours of traveling. New York and London-based clients can be fishing or skiing on the same day of travel.

Decked out in sheepskin, Moroccan wools, and textured walls, Deplar Farm’s 13 bedrooms are a cozy contrast to the raw landscape outside. Grettir, the master bedroom, has a mezzanine loft with a spacious seating area. Our four gallery suites all have mezzanine-style lofts with hammocks and day beds for lounging or additional guests.

Put simply—endless vertical. Heli-ski descents on Iceland’s Arctic maritime snowpack average 915 vertical meters. The land of the midnight sun provides extended daylight hours so you can make sea-to-summit runs even after dinner.
Every year, from March to May, Heli-skiing in Iceland is an unforgettable experience. Long descents over the North Atlantic Ocean are punctuated by never ending sunsets. Limitless terrain ignites new exploration in even the most seasoned of skiers. Long daylight hours allow us to choose the best time of day to ski given the weather and snow conditions. Early season and stormy periods equal powder skiing in a maritime climate, while long sunny days transition the snow into perfect corn skiing.
