Enjoy backcountry skiing on the best snow that North Iceland offers on this incredible heliskiing tour. Experienced skiers eager to try out Iceland's remote slopes and ride in a helicopter should book this adrenaline-fuelled multi-day tour now.
Your heliskiing adventure starts with a transfer from your preferred pick-up point. Choose from Keflavik International Airport, your accommodation in Reykjavik, or Akureyri. You'll also be dropped off back here once the tour has finished.
During the tour, you'll explore the mountains around Siglufjordur and Olafsfjordur towns in North Iceland. Participants have around one hour of helicopter flying time, with approximately eight ski runs daily. Heliskiing is suitable for intermediate backcountry skiers who are in good physical shape.
On your first day of heliskiing, you'll meet with your expert mountain guide and receive your high-performance skis and bindings. Your mountain team will give you a full safety briefing and avalanche safety equipment before you set off.
Then it'll be time to hit the slopes for the first time. Nordurflug's Astar B2 helicopter will fly you to mountain peaks otherwise inaccessible to skiers. Heliskiing allows you to explore remote areas and gives you the freedom to move quickly and easily from one slope to the next.
You'll have your choice of untouched slopes and fresh, powdery runs. You can ski in unspoiled environments without making long journeys up the mountain with your gear.
Each day, your ski guides choose the best runs according to the weather conditions. Their choices will ensure you have the most fun on the slopes while being as safe as possible.
During your heliskiing tour, you'll stay at Soti Lodge, a quality ski lodge–style accommodation. The helicopter can take off outside the property, so you won't have far to travel each morning. What's more, all your meals are included in the price of the tour.
Each day will begin with a delicious breakfast buffet to give you all the energy you need for the day ahead. You'll indulge in a specially prepared mountain lunch between runs, with a three-course meal back at the lodge for dinner. Apres-ski snacks are also available.
After a busy day on the slopes, it's time for relaxation. Soti Lodge has a pool, hot tub, and sauna, perfect for rejuvenating tired muscles. Participants also have access to a floatation relaxation program.
