Snowshoeing and wellness in the beautiful Fljót
Step into the winter landscapes of the Fljótin region and experience the calm and clarity of North Iceland in a unique way. This half-day tour combines an invigorating snowshoeing experience with a guided flotation session in the warm waters of Barðslaug pool, providing a perfect blend of activity and relaxation.
Winter nature and beauty
We start our snowshoeing adventure at Sóti Lodge, traversing past the historic Barð farm and following the roots of Barð mountain into the quiet Brunnárdalur valley, shaped by the Brunna river and nestled between Barð and Sótahnjúkur. Along the way, we enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. On our return, a short hill climb opens up vistas south towards the Troll Peninsula highlands and north to the endless Arctic Ocean.
Flotation in thermal water
Following the hike, we head to Barðslaug pool, where you’ll float effortlessly in warm geothermal water. Guided by your instructor, the flotation session brings deep, warm relaxation—an unforgettable contrast to the snowy stillness of the valley.
Flotation in water has been shown to relieve stress, calm the mind and provide relaxation, as well as assisting in the re-nourishment of muscles after strenuous activity. While floating in the weightlessness of the water, muscles relax and the body realigns. Participants experience tranquility and peace, while immersed in the warm water under the supervision of a trained Flotation therapist. After treatment, some time is given for relaxing in the hot tub.
