In the footsteps of reindeer. Accommodation with breakfast included in a converted schoolhouse at Skjöldólfsstaðir in Jökuldalur Valley, in the east of Iceland. Skjöldólfsstaðir is by the Ring Road, about 1.5 km (0.6 mi) from the crossroads in Jökuldalur Valley, where the Ring Road winds up to moors and mountains north of the valley and to Iceland’s north-east quarter.

This is reindeer country and a short distance away from both the calm moors and the region’s main attractions. Open all year.
