Insider's View

Whilst in Vail you should try the 'Bol' where you can book a bowling lane and have some American diner food which is great fun for adults and children!

Definitely try the in-house bar Frost which is a favourite with all of the locals. You can get a light après-bite here and a fantastic cocktail.

With over 5000 acres of the most breathtaking skiing choosing Vail is like joining an elite club.

Book in for an après-ski spa treatment - just make sure you book in advance and it is the most popular time of day to relieve those aching muscles.

The best time to visit Iceland for your chance to see the Northern Lights is between October and March.

The iconic Hotel Borg is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture. Push the boat out by staying in the Tower Suite.

This itinerary would be perfect for both an active family looking for adventure and couples on a romantic active break.

We design each itinerary around you, so this suggested itinerary is a starting point that we can tweak or transform into something completely bespoke to you. Call us on 020 3993 4743 to start planning your holiday.

Itinerary

A once in a lifetime trip to see the natural wonders of Iceland followed by an extended ski break to legendary Vail. This trip is recommended for families and couples with an adventurous streak.

  1. Fly to Reykjavík

  2. Days 1-3: Reykjavik

    After flying to Reykjavík, your adventure starts with a stay in this stunning city, the recently restored Hotel Borg is 1930s art deco glory.

    On your first morning the super jeeps will pick you up after breakfast and you’ll explore Iceland´s second largest glacier Langjökull and other breathtaking spots. The day continues with a visit to Thingvellir National Park; Thingvellir is a UNESCO world heritage site and historians amongst you may know that it is the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world! In addition it is the place where the great tectonic plates of America and Europe meet and the rift valley is clearly visible.

    Next you will head to the geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and only Geysir. There you can marvel as the ground gurgles, bubbles and super heated water escapes from the ground with enormous force. After lunch the tour climbs to the next level as you drive up the mountain road to the Langjökull glacier. The best way to really experience this glacier is by snowmobile – and an hour’s tour of this magical landscape is something you will not be forgetting any time soon.

    From the glacier you will descend to Gullfoss, the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls where foaming water rushes down three steps of lava layers with power and grandeur. At the end of the day a lobster feast awaits you at Rauða Húsið (Red House), a family run restaurant in a tiny town out side of Reykjavík. The main event takes place after dinner when you begin your search for the spectacular northern lights. The super jeeps take you far away from any traces of civilisation to find the perfect place to view the lights, if the conditions allow.

    Accommodation: Hotel Borg (2 nights)

  3. Fly to Denver

  4. Days 3-13: Vail and Beaver Creek

    After an exciting stay in Reykjavík, you hop back on board a flight to Denver. On arrival, a private transfer will transport you to the epic ski resort of Vail.  

    We would recommend that if you are new to the area that you book a guide for your first couple of days to show you all of what Vail can offer. From hero skiing on the 'noon groomers' to the deep champagne never-pisted powder runs there is something for everyone! As a resort, Vail is unusual for offering a great deal for both children and adults alike. We can suggest different restaurants for you to enjoy, whether you are looking for a fine dining experience or you want a fun evening of bowling and snacks. Skiing is just one of the myriad of activities on offer, non-skiers can enjoy the snow and mountains via a sleigh rides or tubing, for example, and we would definitely recommend snowshoeing to explore some of the untouched terrain.

    Accommodation: The Sebastian (10 nights)

  5. Fly home (via Reykjavík)
