Spot The Northern Lights Over Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Skaftafell
Positioned exquisitely between the awe-inspiring Skaftafell National Park and the enchanting Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is a great location for spotting the Northern Lights in Iceland. This area, surrounded by expansive mountains and secluded countryside, presents a unique retreat filled with magnificent landscapes, spectacular waterfalls, serene icebergs, and excellent opportunities for trail exploration.
Positioned a stone's throw from Skaftafell in Iceland, Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is a prestigious four-star superior accommodation providing 125 chic rooms furnished with indispensable amenities, including complimentary parking, electric car charging points, a gym, and a wellness spa. The hotel's restaurant can accommodate up to 180 guests.
Our spa is a complimentary service/amenity available to all guests staying at the hotel on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests can enjoy the hot tubs, sauna, and gym from 8 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 12 AM.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is a great place to watch Iceland’s magical Northern Lights, too. The remote location means that light pollution is at its lowest, so if you’re lucky enough for a clear night sky and high aurora activity, it could be the perfect spot to watch the phenomenon! If this is on your bucket list, this is a great Northern Lights-watching hotel.
