About Us

Friends since childhood, Björgvin Björgvinsson and Jóhann Haukur Hafstein founded Viking Heliskiing in 2013. They are both former alpine skiing Olympians who have competed at the highest level worldwide. Björgvin and Jóhann, along with our team of guides, have a deep understanding and knowledge of the Troll Peninsula, our main playground. They lead our guests to the finest terrain while prioritizing the safety of all participants above all else. The Troll Peninsula is the ideal place for skiers/snowboarders, with numerous slopes awaiting their first descent. 

We are proud to announce the soft opening of Höfði, our newest heliskiing accommodation, in the spring of 2025. Björgvin and Jóhann have had the dream of bringing this unique and luxurious adventure resort to life for years, and now it’s becoming a reality.

Höfði is a 5,500 square meter building, located in the Northeastern Region of Iceland. The opening marks the beginning of a new chapter for Viking Heliskiing.

At Viking Heliskiing, we recognize that our success and identity are deeply intertwined with the remarkable individuals who comprise our team. Our staff, from the front lines to behind the scenes, play a pivotal role in shaping our company’s character and ensuring its continued growth. We are so very proud of the exceptional team we have built. Over the years, we’ve shared not only the exhilarating highs but also weathered the challenges, uniting us in a bond that goes beyond the professional realm. With years of experience in the terrain, we will ensure you will never forget your holiday with the Vikings.

We are driven by a passion for heliskiing and a commitment to delivering an unparalleled adventure for our guests. This has allowed us to form connections that extend beyond the mountains. Many of our guests return year after year and have become cherished friends.
