For our winter break in February, a little snow and −8 °C were waiting for us. We stayed six days, and it is always so good to come back. We are really enjoying Lækur in winter too – the light, the silence and the mountains white above the fjord.
The farm in winter
In February the nests stand empty; the eider will not be back until early May. So we spent the six days cross-country skiing and walking, playing around on the jeep and the snowmobile, and above all resting and thinking ahead to next spring. Lækur is wonderful in winter too – so much stillness and darkness, and the northern lights. Staying at Lækur in winter? See the farm stay.
