Iceland Ski Touring

Embark on an 8-day ski touring adventure in Iceland with LifeTrek, featuring up to 6 days of ski touring amidst some of the world’s most breathtaking winter landscapes. Prepare yourself for volcanic terrains with unpronounceable names, majestic glaciers, steaming geysers, and vast powder-covered slopes. Experience the dramatic beauty of Iceland’s northern fjords and, with a bit of luck, catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.

Northern Iceland offers a true winter wonderland for ski touring enthusiasts. Imagine carving fresh tracks on untouched slopes while overlooking dramatic fjords and expansive glaciers. Our adventure takes us to the Eyjafjörður fjord and the Tröllaskagi peninsula, just below the Arctic Circle. With mountain peaks ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 meters, the region promises ideal conditions for ski touring, especially on the west side of the fjord.

The slopes provide unforgettable views of the Atlantic Ocean and the fjord, with northern-facing slopes allowing for excellent skiing well into late spring. Enjoy the rare experience of skiing from mountain peaks all the way to the Atlantic beaches. The tours are mostly unmarked, offering natural, unspoiled terrains without extreme ascents or descents. Accommodation is in a local guesthouse, with participants responsible for preparing their own meals. This trip is perfect for those seeking an active winter escape amidst the idyllic landscapes of northern Iceland, far from everyday worries, crowds, and technology.
