  • This adventure has everything you need for an unforgettable backcountry skiing experience—daily heli drops, gourmet meals, top-tier après-ski relaxation, and seamless logistics. We’ll chase the best lines around Siglufjörður, Ólafsfjörður, and Fljótin, with expert guides ensuring every run is pure perfection. Join us for the ultimate heli-skiing adventure in Iceland!

    • Welcome to Iceland! Day 1 is all about arrival and settling in. Depending on where you’re at—Keflavik Airport, Reykjavik, or Akureyri—we will organize a shuttle transfer to our Sóti Lodge. Make yourself at home, maybe take a swim in the next door Barðslaug pool, or just have a relaxed evening. Tomorrow, our heli skiing adventure begins!

    • After a hearty, delicious breakfast at the lodge, we’ll board a heli that will take us to the summits of the breathtaking mountain peaks surrounding us. With expert, experienced guides by our side, we’ll tackle the best runs, carefully chosen for optimal conditions. Midway through the adventure, we’ll take a well-earned break on the mountain, enjoying picnic lunches freshly prepared at the lodge.

      The tour focuses on the mountains around Siglufjörður, Ólafsfjörður and Fljótin. We’ll have one hour of heli fly time per day (8 runs). Once we’re done for the day, we’ll return back to our cozy lodge, where a well deserved three-course dinner will be waiting for us as well as aprés ski snacks!
