Mountains & Fjords of the North

Just below the Arctic circle lies Iceland’s longest fjord, Eyjafjörður and the capital of northern Iceland, Akureyri. Surrounded by numerous summits, ranging from 1200 to 1500 m (4000 - 4900 ft), Eyjafjörður offers a great number of interesting descents and is an ideal location for a scenic fjord tour. Your highly experienced and knowledgeable ski guide will ensure that you get to experience the best skiing this area has to offer in a safe and fun way.  Most of your time will be spent on the west side of the fjord, on the peninsula of Tröllaskagi (Peninsula of the Trolls), but we will also visit the peaks of the east side. The high northern location of these mountains will assure a good quantity of snow. The view over the neighbouring mountains and down to the deep blue fjord is both magnificent and surreal. You will have ample opportunities to earn your turns in this breathtaking area. In the late afternoon, local swimming pools, that sometimes look more like a spa (heated with the geothermal hot water), are a welcoming place to relax after a day of skiing from a mountain summit to the ocean. In the evenings, you will rest up in a cozy country guesthouse. Join us for some of the best alpine skiing in Iceland.
