What to expect?
The breathtaking variety of Icelandic mountain scenery makes this one of the most unique tours we have on offer at Icelandic Mountain Guides. On our itinerary we have three differently stunning peaks, all of which are both glaciers and active volcanoes.
With each peak, our skiing objectives get more challenging, as well as more rewarding. We start with a warm up on the local delight Hengill. Following this, our next challenge is the world-famous Eyjafjallajökull Glacier, known for its travel disrupting eruption in 2010.
In Skaftafell National Park, right under the great Vatnajökull glacier, is the home of Hvannadalshnúkur (2110 m / 6921 ft) Iceland’s highest summit and our ultimate goal!
The skiing is mixed in with a healthy dose of sightseeing – so that our guest will not only tick of skiing in Iceland but also see some of the highlights of our little island.
