Thanks to a weak Krona and a strengthening Pound Iceland is an increasingly popular travel destination and only a three hour flight from the UK. Mark Porter takes us through a pick of the best active trips from scuba diving at Silfra to ice climbing the Svínafellsjökull glacier.
Destination of the month
Lying at the heart of the massive Three Valleys ski area, Méribel is one of the most popular resorts in the Alps. It has 200 lifts and 600km of well groomed pistes and is ideal for intermediates – but like all the big resorts, caters for the less experienced extremely well. Boarders and free skiers have two parks and access to five more in the other Three Valleys resorts. The main village kept a rustic chalet feel during the building boom of the Seventies and many of the traditional buildings have been recently refurbished to the highest standards. The resorts is famous for its high spirited après scene.
