Glacier Fjords - Sailboat ski touring adventure The combination of a 60ft yacht, superb ski touring terrain and the breath taking beauty of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is the recipe for this unique ski adventure. Based out of our floating mountain hut Aurora we explore the remote Cape Horn region of NW Iceland. We ski from one fjord to another whilst our floating home sails around to meet us. Here there are no roads and no people, only the arctic fox and seals that curiously eye these bizarre creatures that slide around on the snow. More |

Haute Route of the Troll's - 6 day High level traverse This epic high level route is the brain child of Jökull Bergmann. For many years Jökull had a dream of connecting all the great ski slopes of the Troll Peninsula into one big traverse where you would ski the entire length of the Peninsula from North to South, starting in the picturesque fishing village of Siglufjörður and ending in the capital of Northern Iceland Akureyri. Unlike the Alps the Troll Peninsula is lacking a network of comfortable mountain huts but we make this Haute Route possible by using 4x4 vehicles that put us in place and retrieve us each day allowing us to base out of our Country Lodge for the entire week. Join us and be amongst the first to accomplish the Haute Route of the Troll's |

Ski to the Sea - Schooner skiing adventure Using beautifully restored two-masted oak schooners we explore the peaks, valleys and fjords of the Hidden Land, the mountainous and deserted peninsula between Eyjafjörður fjord and Skjálfandi bay in the east. With no roads or way of access in the winter and spring seasons, the sea remains the only way to visit this amazing playground, with peaks rising over 1200m and snowfall of epic proportions. What can be more exciting than mixing world class ski touring and sailing the two masted oak beasts ? |

High passes of the Elves - 5 day ski mountaineering trip The glacial plateau that dominates the interior of the Troll Peninsula is a unique zone in Iceland's diverse nature, and reminds one of such areas in Greenland and Antarctica but on a much smaller scale. This is a cold and barren place, but full of rugged beauty and wonderful opportunities to ski Nunataks and experience an adventure of a lifetime. We base out of one of Iceland's only high alpine huts for a couple of days and than regain the comforts of Klængshóll Lodge. More |
