Early bird: Sea to Summit Sailing and Ski Touring in the Westfjords 2025

Meet us at the Isafjordur harbor around 11 am and after a quick safety briefing, board the Örkin — a beautifully restored oak boat with all the necessary amenities. Our meeting point is 40 minutes away from Reykjavik, but you can rent a car and leave it at Isafjordur (since most rentals have a drop-off here, you will only have to pay for the days you have to use the car). We’ll embark for the remote fjords of Hornstrandir and anchor in a secluded cove for an introductory ski run before dinner!

Skiing: 2 hours
Sailing: 6 hours

Embark on a fjord-to-fjord ski tour among the beautiful Westfjords. We’ll load up with a generous breakfast, and sail the chilling seas of Iceland until we find a good slope with great conditions. Then, it’s anchors away and time to tour! Summit-to-sea skiing is the name of the game, and if opportunities arise, we may ski some of the steep couloirs straight down to the fjord. The only tracks you’ll find here are those of an arctic fox, and if we’re lucky, we might even spot a few! 

When we’re off the slopes, we’ll enjoy the views from the spacious deck, make use of the onboard SUP-s, or if we’re feeling fearless, take a revitalizing dip in the ice-cold waters.

Skiing: 5-6 hours per day
Elevation: +/- 600 m/1970 ft

Get up early to enjoy a final ski run before motoring back to Isafjordur. We will have you back in the harbor in time for your flight to Reykjavik!
