Why Choose Viking Heliskiing?
The Difference Is in the Details
Real Icelandic Roots
Viking Heliskiing is a fully family-owned and operated company, run by two Icelandic families. Founded by Björgvin and Jóhann — lifelong friends and highly respected mountain guides in the region — the company is built on more than a decade of shared guiding experience. Their deep connection to the land, local community, and Icelandic heritage is at the core of everything we do. When you ski with us, you are not simply a guest; you become part of our story.
The Most Terrain in Europe
We operate on the largest privately owned heliskiing terrain in Europe — offering unmatched freedom, variety, and untouched snow. From steep couloirs to mellow open faces, this is terrain that fits all levels of advanced to expert skiers and riders, with fresh lines always waiting.
Safety First, Always
Our top priority is your safety. Every season starts with rigorous guide training in avalanche safety, rescue, and risk assessment. Every day begins with a safety meeting. And every guest goes through avalanche and helicopter safety training before skiing. You’re in expert hands from start to finish.
More Skiing, More Value for Classic Heliskiing
We’re the only operator in Iceland using the vertical feet system — the gold standard in heliskiing. You pay for the skiing you do, not for helicopter flight time. That means more transparency, more runs, and more epic days on the mountain — with the flexibility to add more vertical when conditions allow.
Adventure with Heart
We love what we do. We love where we live. And we love sharing it with people who are looking for more than just a ski trip — people looking for connection, wilderness, culture, and memories that last a lifetime.
Called Location
Viking Heliskiing benefits from an exceptional location, situated right by the sea in Siglufjörður, the northernmost town on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula. Viking guests stay at the luxury Hotel Sigló, located directly on the waterfront and surrounded by dramatic mountains in every direction.
