"Northern Iceland’s Troll Peninsula (do not let such a name conjure images of monsters and turn you off) counts itself amongst the nation’s finest mountain ranges. It is here that sheep outnumber people, and this true remove is utterly romantic––as though you’ve absconded with your lover to an Eden shrouded in mist, and so long as you remain the troubles of the world beyond do not concern you. The former farm accommodates no more than 32 guests at a time and is therefore perennially quiet and contemplative, and the range of activities in the wintertime is particularly spectacular. Banner excursions include heli-skiing virgin slopes and fly-fishing, but this is only the beginning. There’s also a trek to Langhus Farm for rides aboard Icelandic horses and views of the Arctic Circle over the Greenland Sea." - CNT Editors, Betsy Blumenthal
