  • Head deep into Iceland’s backcountry on this 2-day heli-skiing adventure! Once you arrive, we’ll have two exciting days of epic runs, untouched snow, and jaw-dropping alpine surroundings. When we’re not skiing, we’ll recharge with gourmet meals that fuel our adventure and unwind in a comfortable lodge with hot tubs and geothermal pools. All logistics are taken care of, including shuttle transfers from Keflavik, Reykjavík, or Akureyri, so we can focus on the thrills ahead. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or ready to push your limits, this trip is all about getting the most out of every single run.

    • Welcome to Iceland! After arriving at Keflavik International Airport, Reykjavík, or Akureyri, you’ll be shuttled to Sóti Lodge, our base for this getaway. We’ll enjoy our first gourmet dinner together and maybe unwind in the sauna.

      Please note that Day 1 corresponds to the departure date for this adventure.
