The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is easily accessible all year round and is known for incredibly beautiful and dramatic landscapes - a microcosm of Iceland.

Dalir is a family-friendly place to visit, combining historical and cultural attractions with an enchanting world of wildlife and nature. It is the ideal place to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of city life, to relax, be outdoors, discover and learn.
