Peaks of Thieves | Skiing Day Tour in the Westfjords

Join this brilliant day tour skiing and exploring the gorgeous mountain slopes of the Westfjords in Iceland. This is a great opportunity for experienced skiers looking to pack their trip to the Westfjords with adrenaline and discovery. Your adventure begins in the morning in the Westford's largest town, Ísafjörður. First things first, you'll meet your friendly and experienced guide for the day who will proceed to hand out all necessary equipment. You will also grab some lunch here, before jumping in the car and heading towards Bolungarvík. Before arriving, however, you will pay a visit to Syðridalur Valley. Here, if your guide decides that conditions are suitable, you will get kitted out and take to the slopes for the first time. Mount Heiðnafjall is just one of the many gorgeous peaks found in this area, making you quickly realise how rewarding it is to balance sightseeing with skiing. You will next head over to the mountain, Breiðafell, which was once a part of the Ísafjörður ski resort, now abandoned following an avalanche in April 1994. Exploring this area, you will see firsthand sweeping views of the surrounding area, Seljalandsdalur, as well as the remains of the resort's old ski-lifts. This is definitely a location where you'll want to keep your camera at the ready. How long you choose to spend in this beautiful area is entirely up to you, though it does depend on the amount of snow, conditions and interest of the group. Those who wish to ski for longer are invited to continue further down the valley, where they will be picked up and returned to Ísafjörður. So don't delay any longer. Hurry now and you too can reserve your place on this exciting day tour skiing in the beautiful Westfjords. Check availability by choosing a date.

Six-Day Skiing Tour in the Westfjords | Kviar Ski Lodge

Go to the most remote area in Iceland, for the most epic ski trip imaginable.

You'll get to spend the nights at Kvíar lodge, where every night a well-deserved dinner will be waiting for you after a day of good exercise on the un-skied pistes. This is not a trip to miss for experienced skiers - but it is only for experienced skiers. Note that there are no lifts on the slopes we'll be taking, so you'll need to bring skis and climbing skins in order to hike up to the top. If you're looking for an action-packed trip to Iceland that's truly off the beaten path, then this is it. Check availability by choosing a date.

Snowcat Skiing on Mulakolla Mountain

Strap on your ski boots and embark on an exhilarating cat skiing tour on Múlakolla Mountain. If you are a backcountry skier or snowboarder, looking to reach the deep powder areas of North Iceland, this snowcat adventure is perfect for you. Your excursion begins as you meet up with your local guide in the town of Ólafsfjörður, nesting at the mouth of the North Iceland fjord Eyjafjörður. Then, you climb in the snowcat and begin your drive to the top of the mountain Múlakolla, ploughing through the deep snow to reach areas not ordinarily accessible with anything but a helicopter. During your tour, expect to gain a stunning view of Ólafsfjörður, Eyjafjörður and Tröllaskagi, also known as the Troll Peninsula, a dramatic mountain range and one of the pearls of North Iceland. On clear days looking out to sea, you can also get a clear view of the islands Hrísey and Grímsey, where they sit in the Atlantic Ocean at the very edge of the Arctic Circle. The peak of Múlakolla Mountain reaches 984 metres (3,228 feet), making the views from the top vast and fantastical. This land was carved via glacial movements, creating dramatic valleys, trickling rivers and the tallest mountains in the country outside the central Highlands. Going skiing or snowboarding on this stunning mountain range is a treat not experienced by many. You bring your own gear and get help with loading it in your transportation, the Pisten Bully Park 300 Snowcat, a fast and smooth rider that seats 28 people just fine along with their winter sports gear. If you didn't bring your gear, you can rent it in the skiing area of the neighbouring town Siglufjörður. Of course, there is no need to sit in the heated comforts of your snowcat for the trip down. Instead, you can fly down the slopes on your ski or board, kicking up the snow as you go. If you participate in neither of these winter sports, you can still come along on this tour, enjoy the sweeping mountain views and catch the ride downhill afterwards. Don’t hesitate, book your snowcat adventure now and go skiing in the mountains of North Iceland. Check availability by choosing a date.
