Ski touring Iceland
ABOUT
Not only is Iceland a world class destination for heliskiing but also for ski touring. The center of activity is the Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland with thousands of peaks and slopes for all abilities. The fact that the Troll Peninsula is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean makes for incredible opportunities of skiing right down to the ocean.
For this one of a kind ski touring trip we will be based out of the charming Siglo Hotel in Siglufjordur. In recent years Siglufjörður is becoming known as one of Iceland´s premier locations for ski touring. All rooms in this new high end hotel have views over the surrounding mountains and marina. After a great day of skiing you can relax on the cozy windowseat of your room and enjoy the views in this quiet little haven in North Iceland. Enjoy the outdoor spa and sauna, strolling through the historic fishing village or even some more turns at the local ski resort only 5 minutes away.
All meals are enjoyed in the hotel restaurant Sunna where our top notch chef prepares local delicacies straight from the ocean. For some this tour might seem just as much about culinary enjoyment as skiing but we like to think that it is the perfect blend of world class ski touring, high end lodging and fine dining.
