Owned by the Eleven Experience group Deplar Farm is the third European property of these adventure specialists, and boy does it live up to their reputation when it comes to adventure activities - but more of that over the next few days. For tonight you'll simply be settling in with a tour of the converted sheep farm house and a delicious dinner prepared by the in-house chefs. Since you're right up north here you'll be glad to hear that the farm is as toasty as can be and all the rooms are tastefully decorated in warm neutrals, with big cosy beds, plush cushions and decorative throws.

Kitted up and ready to go, your guide will accompany you up on the helicopter to the summit and then guide you down the side of the huge couloirs for an average of 3,000 vertical feet. As you create fresh tracks through the soft white powder and feel the Icelandic air rush past your face, the adrenaline will be pumping and you'll feel on top of the world. By the time you make it from summit to sea level, those legs of yours will have had a real workout but with fjord views like these you'll barely notice. Time to head back up! Since Iceland is so far north its spring days are significantly longer than the vast majority of the world, which can only mean, more time for skiing - there's none of this last lift is at 4pm malarkey here. The occasional closing of the weather window is inevitable in this part of the world, but with the highly-skilled pilots on constant stand-by, getting off the ground takes as long as it takes you to kit up. Something as short as a half hour gap in the weather could mean two epic runs, for example.

Start by heading out into the snowy air and taking a trip up the mountains in the very comfortable cat. After a short ride upwards, the Troll Peninsula should come within sight and signal the stopping point. Get out and brave the weather here for a few runs down these lower slopes. When the visibility gets the better of you, head back to base for an afternoon spent in the fantastic indoor-outdoor, geothermal infinity pool - which is set at a relaxing 38C, the swim-up bar will help in the relaxation process too. You might also want to hop between the Jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and gym, or just relax your muscles after the last few days and opt for a long leisurely massage. Dried off and warmed up after dinner, the Media Room projector means you've got a movie night option, or else the generously stocked bar is well known for providing impromptu evenings of entertainment - the loft comes complete with an array of instruments and a karaoke machine, need we say more?! If you're lucky, the party will be taken outside to watch the colourful spectacle that is the Northern Lights, either wrapped up on the terrace or back in the pool.

As afternoon arrives, pack the skis away and instead spend the rest of the day speeding around the Troll Peninsula landscape on snowmobiles. Make sure you take in the breath taking views of snow meeting sea meeting glorious blue sky as well as enjoying the thrill of driving your very own snowmobile.

First things first, you'll be driven an hour and a half back to Akureyri Airport, where you will catch a flight to Reykjavik Airport. From there it's a short forty minute transfer to Keflavik International Airport, where you can catch your onwards flight.
