Have you ever skied from the summit to the Arctic Ocean or witnessed the Northern lights? Skied until midnight, thanks to the never-setting sun in Iceland in the later spring and summer? Embark on a heli-ski holiday in Iceland!
Iceland has stunning landscapes and diverse terrain, making it an ideal playground for heliskiers. You can choose the length of the heliskiing package from 3 up to 6 days.
There are also many opportunities for off-piste skiing. Our small group sizes ensure an intimate and personalized experience, tailored for those seeking a slower pace or those hungry for endless vertical feet.
With the Classic Heliskiing Package, we guarantee 15.000 vertical feet daily. But, if you reach this limit and conditions are good, nothing stops you from skiing more.
