Eldar North Lodge

A Viking Heliskiing Base in the Heart of North Iceland

Set in spectacular countryside along the shores of Eyjafjörður fjord, Eldar North Lodge is where refined Nordic luxury meets raw Arctic wilderness. Developed with our trusted partner Eldar, this private lodge blends seamlessly into its surroundings and offers an intimate, high-end base for Viking Heliskiing guests seeking comfort, privacy, and immediate access to the mountains.

Perfectly located just five minutes from Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland, and eight minutes from Akureyri Airport, Eldar North offers rare accessibility without sacrificing seclusion. From the lodge, endless mountain terrain rises directly from the fjord—hundreds of potential ski lines stretching from summit to sea.

For Viking Heliskiing guests, this is more than accommodation.
The helicopter is based directly at the lodge, allowing you to relax, reset, and move seamlessly from breakfast to first lift, and from final run to après-ski—without transfers, delays, or crowds.

The lodge also features:

A luxurious sauna for post-ski recovery
Spacious, comfortable communal living areas
Outdoor terraces with uninterrupted mountain and fjord views
Outdoor Hot tub with a view over the fjord

This is a place to slow down, warm up, and recharge after powerful days in the mountains.

Suites | Sleep

Each of the four suites is designed with comfort, privacy, and simplicity in mind. Clean Nordic lines, natural materials, and expansive glass bring light and landscape into every room. Whether waking up to first light over the fjord or watching the northern skies settle in the evening, the experience is calm, private, and immersive.

Eat & Drink

At Eldar North, dining is a shared experience and a highlight of the stay.

In collaboration with award-winning chefs from Iceland’s national culinary team, Eldar offers carefully crafted menus that celebrate local ingredients and seasonal flavors. Every meal is tailored—whether you have specific requests, dietary needs, or simply want to be surprised.

The experienced and attentive staff can arrange:

Intimate private dinners
Lively group evenings
Flexible, bespoke catering experiences

From relaxed après-ski meals to memorable long-table dinners, everything is designed to complement the rhythm of your Viking Heliskiing days.

A True Viking Heliskiing Base

Eldar North is not just a lodge—it is a strategic heliskiing base, surrounded by ski terrain, grounded in comfort, and rooted in North Icelandic culture. With the helicopter on site, the mountains at your doorstep, and Akureyri moments away, this is one of the most efficient and inspiring heliskiing locations in Iceland.

This is where Viking Heliskiing meets refined Nordic living.
