Allocation of VR Holiday homes in Winter
For the first time, VR holiday homes will be allocated for winter rentals in the 2025–2026 season during specific periods. The homes are rented out for one week at a time, starting on a Thursday. Outside these periods, it is possible to rent the homes for shorter stays without allocation.
The holiday homes will be allocated during the following periods:
- School winter breaks: October 23–30, 2025, and February 19–26, 2026.
- Christmas 2025
- New Year's 2025–2026
- Easter 2026
- Ski season in Akureyri from January 1 to April 30, 2026 (holiday homes in Hálönd and Skipagata).
All full members can apply for holiday home allocation during these periods, regardless of whether they have rented a holiday home in previous winters or not.
Application Period
Applications for holiday homes during the above-mentioned periods will open on April 14 and close on April 30. The allocation process will take place on May 2, and members will have until May 12 to complete payment via "My Pages" on the VR website. The allocation system randomly selects members, who will receive an email notification once the process is completed.
General Applications
On May 19 at 10:00, applications for holiday homes throughout the entire winter period, from August 28, 2025, to May 28, 2026, will open. The "first come, first served" rule will apply. The minimum rental period will be two days, and weekends will be rented from Friday to Monday.
