It doesn’t get more off-the-grid than the Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland. Deplar Farm, named one of 2023’s “Best Hotels in the World” on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, embodies an adventurous spirit fueled by deep connections to extraordinary landscapes. This remote area sees some of the highest average snowfall in Iceland, making it a dream spot for skiers. Located on a converted 15th century sheep farm, Deplar Farm blends into the natural landscape with its black timber cladding and turf roof, and the floor-to-ceiling windows around the property that embrace the surrounding peaks. With two helipads on property, guests have instant access to rolling descents and steep couloirs that take you all the way to the ocean.

Iceland’s maritime snowpack provides stable conditions ranging from smooth, buttery slopes and corn snow to fresh powder, and the region’s midnight sun makes it possible to ski later into the evening. Unlike many heli operations, there are no down days at Deplar. If conditions don’t cooperate for flight, our guides can take guests ski touring or on a variety of other winter adventures. Don’t worry about sore muscles. Deplar’s geothermal-heated outdoor pool, Isopod flotation tanks, and talented massage therapists relieve any ski fatigue so you’ll never have to miss a ski day.

Deplar Farm is freestanding and intimate in size. The design encourages our guests to get out and explore the abundant, breathtaking landscapes that surround the lodge.
