Luxury holidays in Troll Peninsula

When to go

From November to April, the peninsula’s temperature hovers around freezing (or drops just below); July and August highs reach the low teens. For peak skiing conditions, visit in April and May. It’s possible to spot whales off the coast from early April to late November, and your best chances for catching the Northern Lights are between November and March (avoid the time around the full moon).

Getting there

• Planes

  Planes from across Europe and North America land at Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport, a five hour’s drive away. You can also hope a 40-minute flight from Keflavik International Airport to Akureyri, which is about an hour away from Troll Peninsula by car. Ring up our Smith24 team and they’ll happily sort out flights for you.

• Automobiles

  From Reykjavik, it’s a five-hour drive to Troll Peninsula; snow cover can slow things down in the winter, and a four-wheel drive vehicle is a must.
