Booking Terms and Cancellation Policy
Additional Guest Charges
For by-the-room rates, our pricing is per room, per night based on single or double occupancy. Additional charges apply for guests exceeding standard double occupancy in rooms that can accommodate—please inquire for details. Split rates for shared bedrooms accommodating both skiers and non-skiers are available upon request.
For full-lodge buyouts, our rates are per night based on a standard 12-, 16-, 20-, or 24-guest occupancy.
Travel Insurance
Due to our unique product and strict cancellation policies, we strongly recommend purchasing 'Cancel For Any Reason' (CFAR) travel insurance to protect your investment. As an incentive for you to purchase CFAR insurance coverage, Eleven is offering you a 1% credit based on the total cost of your stay with Eleven. Your credit may be used during your stay for wellness services, additional activities, transportation, and non-included beverages. Please let us know if you would like us to connect you with our preferred insurance partner, Global Rescue, to provide you with a quote once your trip has been confirmed.

Heli Hours
The number of heli hours will be determined based on the length of your stay. 1.5 hours are included, with 1 hour a day guaranteed. For example, a 4-night package includes 6 hours of heli flight time with 4 hours guaranteed, while a 5-night package includes 7.5 hours with 5 hours guaranteed. This provides the ideal amount of time to fully enjoy our heli-ski experience.
Your heli hours will be scheduled at the discretion of our guides and pilots, and they are subject to weather conditions. One hour of heli time typically offers a full day of skiing.
Heli-Ski Credits
If you’re unable to reach your included flight time due to operational factors, such as weather conditions or mechanical issues preventing flights, you will receive a credit of 65,043 ISK (~$500 USD) per seat/per hour. This credit is calculated based on the difference between your included flight time and the actual hours/minutes flown during your trip.
Please note that credits won’t be issued if you don’t reach your flight time due to personal reasons, including injury, illness, accidents, ski ability, or personal choice such as if you choose not to ski and stay at Deplar Farm instead. If eligible, your credit can be applied to a new booking at any Eleven property with an arrival date within 365 days of your departure from Deplar Farm. Please keep in mind that credits won’t be extended beyond the following year.

Communal Dining
Our communal dinners are a special aspect of the Deplar Farm experience. Your thoughtfully prepared, seasonally relevant dishes will be served at our long Nordic dining table. At Deplar, we take great pride in preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of the long Nordic table, which draws inspiration from the ancient Great Halls where travelers, traders, and warriors would gather to share their tales and forge new friendships. If you have any alternative dining preferences you’d like to explore, please don’t hesitate to inform the Eleven Sales team.
Alcohol Policy
We offer a full bar menu available for purchase. Please refrain from bringing your own alcohol onto the premises, as it does not comply with our liquor license.
