Kerlingarfjöll, Iceland 

HIGHLAND BASE

Remote, soulful and elemental, Highland Base offers a rare Nordic mountain retreat deep in Iceland’s volcanic highlands. Surrounded by rhyolite peaks, steaming geothermal rivers and snow-dusted wilderness, the property invites travellers into an otherworldly landscape shaped by the forces beneath it. A basecamp for adventure — heli-skiing, glacier tours, geothermal bathing — it’s also a sanctuary of Icelandic minimalism, where timber, wool and lava stone echo the terrain. For those seeking a non-traditional European mountain escape, Highland Base is a gateway to the wild heart of the Arctic interior.
